This volume provides a critical assessment of the "Neoclassical
Synthesis", long regarded as the standard interpretation of Keynes.
Taking issue with this orthodoxy, the author offers an
interpretation of the foundation of modern macroeconomics, arguing
that the subject derives from the conflict between two research
programmes inspired by different paradigms in physics: the
"Newtonian" programme of Hicks and the "Einsteinian" approach of
Keynes. Part I compares Hick's Newtonian programme with the
Einsteinian programme underlying the "General Theory", and argues
that only the latter challenges atomism and accounts for time in an
essential way. Part II reconstructs the development of the
Neoclassical Synthesis and underlines that some of its key products
represent pragmatic deviations from Hick's "pure" Newtonian
programme. Part III examines microfoundations approaches that seek
to remedy the flaws of the Neoclassical Synthesis and concludes
that they are fatally undermined by their inability to grasp the
Einsteinian foundations of Keynes's approach. This text not only

contribution to debates within post-Keynesian economi
