For the first time in the literature, I here specify exact functional forms for...

The paper suggests a consistent interpretation for the much debated Z-footnote on pp. 55-56 of the General Theory and discards claims recently made in the literature concerning the importance of output heterogeneity for Keynes's macroeconomic approach.
