All the characters of the drama written by Keynes increasingly have vague ideas about the future and believe the possession of money of the important means allowing “to be insured”. Uncertainty also explains the fact that the atmosphere is gloomy expectations can be stored for a long time and inhibit economic activity after the goods, ser­ vices and investments will be available “at a reasonable price.” The feeling of uncertainty increases and decreases, in some the periods people are more sure of the future, in others – less.
