 Limited sectors like - note issue, peace and security,
judiciary function, etc should be controled by the
government.

of Monetary policy to curb the 1930’s Great Depression.
 The foundation of Keynesian school of thought is after the
publication of “ General Theory of Employment,
Interest and Money” written by J.M. Keynes and
published in 1936.
 The major concern is “role of government” or “the
government spending” in the economy to stabilize the
aggregate demand.
 “Money does not matter”
 Government intervention should not be restricted.

demand in the economy.
