Economics of Keynes in Historical Context

This volume offers a comprehensive treatment of the development of Keynes's economic ideas in the General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money. With archival material, the historical record of the economics of Keynes's time and place and the scholarship available on Keynes's biography and philosophy, it builds a narrative of his developing ideas on economic theory from before World War I - when he was lecturing on Economics at Cambridge - through the General Theory in 1936.
