6' - The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money

John Maynard Keynes's The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money is presented here through excerpts from various prefaces and chapters. Keynes details his departure from traditional classical economic thought, emphasizing the insufficiency of existing theories to explain persistent unemployment. He introduces new concepts, such as the multiplier and the marginal efficiency of capital, to explain the determination of income, output, and employment. The text also examines the role of money, liquidity preference, and expectations in shaping economic behavior. Keynes's work challenges established economic orthodoxies and offers alternative explanations for economic fluctuations and unemployment.

"Alchemy of Self" is a transformative process of personal growth, akin to how alchemists sought to turn base metals into gold. In a metaphorical sense, it refers to refining the human spirit, mind, and potential through self-discovery, learning, spiritual or psychological evolution, and/or working directly with a Teacher. In this series, famous and little-known texts about money, mind, and spirit are transformed into AI-based conversations that lead (you) the listener on your own inquiry. Listen carefully, let questions arise, and engage what you hear - now.
