Diagnosticando patologias monetáriasseus impactos sobre a atividade produtiva na visão de Keynes e Veblen

Resumo

This paper, which draws upon Keynes' conception of monetary pathologies, focuses on the psychological dimension of monetary relations - money-loving and money-making - and their impacts on the production process and social well-being. In an attempt to provide a more elaborated analytical and theoretical foundation to such conception, we also draw upon some of Veblen's writings, with a view to suggest some tentative answers to an intriguing question one may raise upon reading Keynes' 1930 essay "The economic possibilities for our grandchildren": why - and how - would come about a change of values such as the one envisaged by Keynes, which would lead people to assess the money-motive at its true value, as a pathology, and to devote major attention to the true art of good life?
