Abstract

The aim of this article is to analyze the role of banks and the banking system in the existence of involuntary unemployment in Keynes's two main works: the Treatise on Money and the General Theory. The detailed analysis of banking behavior in the Treatise is more or less abandoned in the General Theory, which focuses on entrepreneurial behavior and the principle of effective demand. Nevertheless, the Treatise lacks a complete theory of production and employment. We therefore propose to combine the theoretical elements of banking from the Treatise with the theory of production and unemployment from the General Theory, to draw conclusions on the responsibility of the banking system in the existence of involuntary unemployment. The result is that, at best, responsibility for unemployment is shared between banks and entrepreneurs. At worst, the banks are solely responsible for Keynesian involuntary unemployment.
