Resumen

At the beginning of World War II, John Maynard Keynes prepared an original plan detailing how the British society should deal with the problem of war finance. The enlarged version of his proposal was published in a pamphlet under the title How to pay for the war(1940). It was the first relevant contribution that this economist made to the British war effort during the conflict. Wars imply a large public expenditure. In this sense, the study of the Keynes plan can shed light about the different ways to finance the public spending of our societies and their macroeconomic implications. For this reason, we will start this paper with a historical contextualization of How to pay for the war and explain the details of this proposal. Then, we will carry out a modelization of Keynes's plan and will show that it can be useful in the design and implementation of public policies in the current context.
