Abstract

Dusek Tamás cikket írt Keynes sikerességének és népszerűségének okai Keynes életrajzai szerint címmel e lap 2022. szeptemberi számában, amihez hozzászólt Szakolczai György Megjegyzések és kiegészítések Dusek Tamás Keynes-esszéjéhez címmel e lap 2023. májusi számában, amelyre a szerző Viszonválasz Szakolczai Györgynek című írásával válaszolt ugyanabban a lapszámban. E sorok írója a két szerző egy-egy gondolatához kíván hozzászólni a kiegészítés szándékával. Dusek Tamás Keynes két könyvét nevezi meg a legbefolyásosabb műnek. Az egyik A béke gazdasági következményei (1919), a másik A foglalkoztatás, a kamat és a pénz általános elmélete (1936). Szakolczai György Keynes valószínűségi munkájáról úgy véli, hogy "ennek a munkának nincs valóságos jelentősége, itt is csak a teljesség kedvéért szerepeltetem". Dusek és Szakolczai állításával szemben úgy vélem, hogy Keynes A Treatise on Probability című könyve (1921) és The General Theory of Employment című cikke (1937) meghatározó jelentőségű Keynes közgazdasági elméletének megalapozásában, amely a bizonytalanság szerepére épül. Cikkem megkísérel árnyalt képet adni a valószínűség és a bizonytalanság jelentőségéről a keynesi közgazdaságtanban. Journal of Economic Literature (JEL) kód: D81, E12.
