The Cambridge Companion to Keynes

John Maynard Keynes (18831946), the most important economist of the twentieth century, was also a philosopher who wrote on ethics and the theory of probability and was a central figure in the Bloomsbury Group of writers and artists. In this volume, contributors from a wide range of disciplines offer new interpretations of Keyness thought, explain the links between Keynes's philosophy and his economics, and place his work and Keynesianism - the economic theory, the principles of economic policy, and the political philosophy - in their historical context.
