Description
The essential writings of the 20th century's most influential economist, collected in one volume.
John Maynard Keynes was the most influential economist, and one of the most influential thinkers, of the twentieth century. He overturned the orthodoxy that markets were optimally self-regulating, and instead argued for state intervention to ensure full employment and economic stability.
The Essential Keynes is the first comprehensive single-volume edition of Keynes's writings on economics, philosophy, social theory and policy, including several pieces never before published. Full of irony and wit, these writings offer a dazzling introduction to a figure whose ideas still have urgent relevance today.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
The Essential Keynes is praised for making the significant contributions of Keynes accessible to readers, with Robert Skidelsky providing a vital service by compiling these thoughts into one volume. While the work highlights the challenge of fully encapsulating Keynes’s ideas, it provides a valuable and handy resource for those looking to understand his impact on economics.
