- Summary:
-
The culmination of John Maynard Keynes's thought and lifework was The General Theory or Employment, Interest and Money. Here, placing it in the context of his era, David Felix examines the evolution of Keynes's theorizing. He boldly claims that The General Theory lacks logical and factual support as pure theory, but is an achievement of great statesmanship in political economy. Biography of an Idea is bound to be controversial due to the many cohorts of economists who have been trained in macroeconomics according to Keynes. It will be of interest and accessible to intellectually curious laymen and students, and important to economists, historians, and political scientists.
