The objective is to make explicit, for the Keynesian multiplier, what from a Marxian perspective should be made explicit in any discourse about the capitalist economy, namely the role of the social relations of production. Since within given historical periods social relations are expressed in institutional forms, my analysis also gives some general insights about the basic institutional requirements assumed within the general Keynesian framework, requirements without which the Keynesian multiplier could not be operational. Finally, the paper also briefly outlines some important policy implications by comparing the main tenets of a Keynesian, neoliberal, and radical agenda for employment creation. - Reproduced Keynes, John Maynard Review of Radical Political Economics 44493 44493 44493 0 0 0 0 IIPA IIPA 2018-07-19 Volume no: 32, Issue no: 1 AR44903 2018-07-19 2018-07-19 AR
