Abstract
This paper contemplates the evolution of Pigouís stance towards the Keynesian Revolution. Preliminarily, a brief contrast between his and Keynesís approach to the problem of unemployment is made. After that, Pigouís first reactions to The General Theory are presented, along with the rejoinder from the Keynesian camp. In the sequence, the emergence of the ìPigou effectî in the context of the classical stationary state long run equilibrium is reconstituted, as well as the body of criticism to such mechanism formulated by many economists at that time. In the end, Pigouís last assessment of Keynesís contribution to economic theory is retrieved, comparing it to his initial impressions on the advance of Keynesianism in the academic world.
Key words: Pigou. Keynesian revolution.Classical theory. Macroeconomic equilibrium
