He also discusses the role of the state in regulating the economy and the need for social welfare programs to help those in need. The final section of the book is dedicated to social issues, including education, women's rights, and the importance of leisure time. Keynes argues that education is essential for economic growth and that women should have equal rights and opportunities in society.
