Chapter 1 in Understanding Keynes’ General Theory, 2009, pp 1-8 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract John Maynard Keynes was the greatest economist of the twentieth century. Keynes’ best-known book, the pinnacle of his intellectual achievements, was the General Theory of Employment Interest and Money. In the third quarter of the twentieth century the book was particularly influential in changing the way economists and policy-makers thought about macroeconomic issues, although not always in the way Keynes intended.
