Macroeconomics of Keynesian and Marxian inspirations: toward a synthesis

In the wake of World War II, Keynes’ analysis contributed to the definition of a new social compromise (including itsmacro andwelfare components).Within this favorable political context, a “Keynesian school”, in the broad sense, prospered. After the establishment of neoliberalism in the 1980s, despite the overall repression of economists critical of the new social order, the Keynesian perspective is still the object of much interest among the minority of economists who lean politically to the Left. The relationship between Keynesian and Marxian economics has always been ambiguous, but they have a lot in common concerning macroeconomics.
