SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"This book brings together and examines all aspects of the life and work of one of the most influential thinkers of the last century, John Maynard Keynes, whose theses are still hotly debated. It combines, in an accessible and cohesive manner, analytical, biographical and contextual elements from a variety of perspectives." "Scholars, students and researchers of economics, history of economic thought, political science, sociology, history, philosophy and the history of arts will find this a revealing work. The book should also interest journalists, decision makers in society and all those who are preoccupied by the problems of our time."--Jacket.
