 50 Years a KeynesianChapter 1 in 50 Years a Keynesian and Other Essays, 2001, pp 1-30 from Palgrave Macmillan Abstract: Abstract I expect that like most people I shall never cease to be surprised by the perceptions which other people have of who you are, what you have done and why. When I retired in September 1998 and that most courageous and supportive of editors, Tim Farmiloe, offered to publish two volumes of my selected essays,1 I re-read some essays about my life and work by John Hatch and Colin Rogers (1997), John Hatch and Ray Petrides (1997), Philip Arestis, Gabriel Palma and Malcolm Sawyer (1997a, 1997b) and Sheila Dow (1997). These authors all have differing time periods and views2 from which to observe me. These are naturally reflected in their observations. Nevertheless, there is a dominant theme in all their accounts, that, as Hatch and Rogers put it (1997: 97), I have ‘always been a Keynesian economist in the very broadest sense [, that I have always] identified with the elegance of Keynes’s economics [and] also with its social purposes’. In this essay I try to explain the how and why of their evaluation.
