The upshot is that a principle pronounced by Kalecki proves
to be applicable to the development on a world scale:
He said that the policy of stimulating private investment
either by a cut in interest rates or by tax incentives,
could be effective only te mporarily because of the capacity
created which would require a renewed dose of stimulus
in order not to depress the markets, and so on.
The basic problem of effective demand is not.solved by t
the tax stimulus.
It follows then that the employment policy pursued by practically
all countries was not aDEquate, in fact, it was not a
Keynesian or at least not a Kaleckian policy at all
and therefore what failed was anything but a Keynesian or
Kaleckian policy. The problem of creating an adequate amount
of consumption, by approprate disIribu^i^n^o^incBme^poSicies^ 1
remains basic for a full employment policy .
