Description
Keynes's vision was that economics should be based on understanding the interactions between people and their environment, and that policy should be based on this understanding.
In this readable yet scholarly reevaluation of the thought of John Maynard Keynes, Fitzgibbons traces the great economist's vision as it developed from his early philosophical writings (including many unpublished or neglected works) through the Collected Writings. Focusing on how Keynes understood significant political and economic matters, Fitzgibbons charts the evolution of his system of political economy, provides fresh insights into his approach to economic policy, and challenges the view of Keynes as a political liberal.
