Though Keynesians contributed immensely to sustainable development, but to this day of post Keynesianism, their approach only discuss the concepts of sustainable development but fails to put forward a clear presentation of the three fundamental pillars. Keynesian theories were implemented by western nations to recover from the two major global recessions, but the ideas are been neglected although some people believe that Keynesians were ahead of their time. Post Keynesians should increase work on the modern sustainable development approaches and bring out ideas that matches the trends of current and future global
