Keynes’ Collected Writings, a Correction1

History of Economics Review, 2009, vol. 49, issue 1, 61-66

Abstract: In John Maynard Keynes’ Collected Writings there is a worksheet on which he jotted down the relationships between the changes in certain variables and, apparently, some related points. There seem to be errors in the worksheet, errors in the transcription from Keynes’ original one-page, handwritten worksheet in the Keynes Papers to what is published in the Collected Writings. Although Keynes’ handwriting is sometimes difficult to read, it is probable that what is published in the Collected Writings is not what Keynes had written on the worksheet. The version of the worksheet published in the Collected Writings raises questions about continuity in Keynes’ theory and continuity in his use of terminology and notation during the transition from the Treatise to the General Theory. These questions do not arise in the corrected version of the worksheet.
