ABSTRACT
Keynes said that the readers of The General Theory would have to endure a ‘struggle of escape’ if his assault upon them was to be successful. This chapter is about his ‘assault’ strategy, its comportment relative to common views of what Keynes was trying to do, and the logical possibilities of its success. Since Keynes was arguing against the then predominant Marshallian neoclassical method of economic analysis, we shall have to also give some time to considering the essentials of Marshall’s methods in order to determine where Keynes might have thought he was placing the most telling blows.
