Peter Clarke, Keynes: The Rise, Fall, and Return of the 20th Century's Most Influential Economist Bloomsbury, 2009
John Maynard Keynes died in 1946, but Keynesianism, in one form or another, is alive and well: the British economist's name has been invoked repeatedly since the global economic meltdown began in 2008. But how much do we really know about Keynes, and what did he really say and write? Peter Clarke has written a new book about Keynes's life and ideas. (Holiday encore presentation.)
