2.9 Keynes’s Analysis of the Labour Market
We have already seen (section 2.3) that full employment is guaranteed in the
classical model providing that competition prevails in the labour market, and
prices and wages are perfectly flexible (see Figures 2.2 and 2.4). In sharp
contrast, Keynes did not accept that the labour market worked in a way that
would always ensure market clearing. Involuntary unemployment is likely to
be a feature of the labour market if money wages are rigid. But Keynes went
further than this and argued that flexibility of nominal wages would be
unlikely to generate powerful enough forces which could lead the economy
back to full employment. Let us examine each of these cases.
