John Maynard Keynes believed that the Great Depression was primarily caused by a lack of aggregate demand in the economy. He argued that insufficient consumer spending and investment led to widespread unemployment and business failures. Keynes criticized the classical economic theory that advocated for self-correcting markets, asserting instead that government intervention was necessary to stimulate demand and restore economic stability. His ideas laid the foundation for modern macroeconomic theory and policies aimed at managing economic cycles.
