Fiscal policy

  Is proposed by John Maynard Keynes, whichproposes innovative theories. For example:
He says that Say's Law ("supply creates its own demand") is not met, as there may beeconomic balance but there is much unemployment.
Believes thatthe state is the one who should attempt to resolve the problem of unemployment (as opposed to the classics and the monetarists, who believe that is solvedby itself). To do so, the state hasto control aggregate demand through fiscal policy.
The state of full employment is a transitory, and the economy is fluctuating.
These revolutionary theories are beginning tomacroeconomics as a science.
