The myth that R. Kahn taught J M Keynes the multiplier,so that without Kahn's contribution,there would have been no possibility of Keynes having written the General Theory in 1936,like the myth that there is no IS-LM mathematical model in the General Theory , can be traced to deliberate canards...

The mathematical(logical), technical, theoretical exposition of the multiplier given in chapter 10 of the General Theory by Keynes is identical to the exposition given by Keynes in chapter 26 of the A Treatise on Probability in footnote 1 on page 315. The mathematical theory requires that the...

An enduring myth accepted by all Orthodox and heterodox economists is that it was Richard Kahn who discovered and originated the concept of the multiplier. Kahn then supposedly showed Keynes how the multiplier concept could be specified mathematically so as to provide hard support for Keynes's...
