Patinkin as a reader of Keynes’ General Theory: Are wage cuts a good remedy to unemployment?Footnote¹

1 A preliminary version of the paper was presented at the Patinkin conference (Lausanne, 21-22 september 2001). Since then, I benefited from critiques and comments by Ingo Barens, Pascal Bridel, Michel de Vroey, Goulven Rubin and Hans-Michael Trautwein. Usual disclaimers apply.
