  Main contribution
  Keynes was the creator of the theory of "Keynesian economics", which had a huge impact on modern macroeconomics. His ideas radically changed the practice and economic policy of various governments. Contributions: John Keynes - revolutionized economic thinking by rejecting the old ideas of neoclassical economic theory that the free market is capable of self-regulation and automatic full employment. His book, The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money (1936), revolutionized economic theory and served as the basis for the birth of Keynesianism. The book argued that the government should actively influence the economy, especially during periods of chronic unemployment.
  He supported an interventionist public policy, consisting in the active use of fiscal and monetary measures by the government to mitigate the negative effects of economic cycles, recessions and depressions. Although Keynes advocated controlled investment and a strong public sector, he never wavered in his belief in a capitalist market economy. So, in Keynesian theory, the actions of the government are aimed at stimulating the market, and not at eliminating it.
