title = "Did Keynes in the General Theory Significantly Misrepresent J S Mill?",
abstract = "It has been alleged that J M Keynes, quoting in the General Theory a passage from J S Mill{\textquoteright}s Principles, misunderstood the passage in question and was therefore wrong to cite Mill as an upholder of the {\textquoteleft}classical{\textquoteright} proposition that {\textquoteleft}supply creates its own demand{\textquoteright}. We believe that, although Keynes was admittedly in error with respect to, so-to-say, the {\textquoteleft}letter{\textquoteright} of Mill{\textquoteright}s exposition, he did not mislead readers as to the {\textquoteleft}substance{\textquoteright} of Mill{\textquoteright}s conception. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that J S Mill did indeed stand for a {\textquoteleft}classical{\textquoteright} position, vulnerable to Keynes{\textquoteright}s critique as developed in the General Theory.",
