The main objective of this article is to analyze the evolution of the ideas and theoretical propositions of the work of John Maynard Keynes. The underlying hypothesis of this work, in a post Keynesian approach, is the defence of change of economic thought of Keynes, a vision marshallian compatible with laissez-faire capitalism, for an innovative theoretical analysis of the problems of capitalism pós-great depression, in the years 1930.
