On economic theory, he ranks with Adam\u003cbr\u003e Smith and Karl Marx; and his impact on how economics was practiced, \u003cbr\u003efrom the Great Depression to the 1970s, was unmatched.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money\u003c\/em\u003e was \u003cbr\u003efirst published in 1936. But its ideas had been forming for decades   as\u003cbr\u003e a student at Cambridge, Keynes had written to a friend of his love for \u003cbr\u003e'Free Trade and free thought'. Keynes's limpid style, concise prose, and\u003cbr\u003e vivid descriptions have helped to keep his ideas alive - as have the \u003cbr\u003enovelty and clarity, at times even the ambiguity, of his macroeconomic \u003cbr\u003evision. He was troubled, above all, by high unemployment rates and large\u003cbr\u003e disparities in wealth and income. Only by curbing both, he thought, \u003cbr\u003ecould individualism, 'the most powerful instrument to better the \u003cbr\u003efuture', be safeguarded. The twenty-first century may yet prove him \u003cbr\u003eright.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eThe Economic Consequences of the Peace\u003c\/em\u003e (1919), Keynes elegantly and acutely exposes the folly of imposing austerity on a defeated and struggling nation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Keynes, John Maynard \u0026 Spencer, Dr Mark G (Brock University, On \u0026 Griffith, Tom","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":44095939150114,"sku":"9781840227475","price":6.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/keynes-john-maynard-spencer-dr-mark-g-brock-university-on-griffith-tom-john-maynard-keynes-cb-fba-1st-baron-keynes-the-general-theory-of-employment-interest-and-money-with-the-economic-consequences-of-the-peace-classics-of-worl-58526456774995.jpg?v=1727140624","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.com\/products\/general-theory-of-employment-interest-money-ww","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
