 As noted, Keynesianism is neoliberalism’s other great foe. Let us understand Keynesianism as a series of policy proposals aimed at correcting purported market failures at the macroeconomic level, and especially as the use of deficit-financed spending to manage the business cycle and stimulate the economy. These policies were inspired by John Maynard Keynes (1935 [1965: 2011]), even if he did not always consistently adopt  them.[7]
