Book description

John Maynard Keynes (1883–1946) was the most important economist of the twentieth century. He was also a philosopher who wrote on ethics and the theory of probability and was a central figure in the Bloomsbury Group of writers and artists. In this volume contributors from a wide range of disciplines offer new interpretations of Keynes's thought, explain the links between Keynes's philosophy and his economics, and place his work and Keynesianism - the economic theory, the principles of economic policy, and the political philosophy - in their historical context. Chapter topics include Keynes's philosophical engagement with G. E. Moore and Franz Brentano, his correspondence, the role of his General Theory in the creation of modern macroeconomics, and the many meanings of Keynesianism. New readers will find this the most convenient, accessible guide to Keynes currently available. Advanced students and specialists will find a conspectus of recent developments in the interpretation of Keynes.

Reviews

'… I think this volume is written to a high standard, its scholarship is solid and it is of good value to different audiences for different reasons. … In the case of Keynes studies we have now evolved to the stage where current commentary is often written on the secondary literature, as each of these entries somewhat involves. But each is also loaded with references that should point interested readers to the relevant parts of Keynes's own original work, and that of his contemporaries and successors, for a long time to come.'
