Keynes and the Cambridge School (2003)

Prue Kerr and Geoffrey Harcourt

Chapter 11 in On Skidelsky’s Keynes and Other Essays, 2012, pp 199-218 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract We start with Maynard Keynes’s central ideas.† We then discuss the strands that emerged in the work of others, some contemporaries, some followers, some agreeing and extending, others disagreeing and/ or returning to ideas Keynes sloughed off or played down. The General Theory is the natural starting point. We trace developments from and reactions to it, especially by people who were associated, at least for part of their working lives, with Cambridge, England. In the concluding paragraphs, we briefly discuss the contributions of those not geographically located in Cambridge who nevertheless worked within the tradition of Keynes and the Cambridge School.
