'[It is] a very useful addition to an already considerable literature, and it can replace in part the reading of the totality of this literature. It deserves to be added to reading lists of all courses on Keynes.' - Economics and Philosophy

'An extremely useful introduction to the Keynes and philosophy literature that has the great advantage of letting the participants in controversies speak for themselves.' - D.E. Moggridge, Professor of Economics, University of Toronto, Canada.
