The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money
The article was published in response to the publication of Keynes' magnum opus, "The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money" in 1936, and its purpose was to draw international attention to the Swedish discoveries in the field, many of which had predated the discoveries of Keynes. Gunnar Myrdal was early in supporting the theses of John Maynard Keynes, maintaining that the basic idea of adjusting national budgets to slow or speed an economy was first developed in Sweden by him and the Stockholm School.
