Abstract: Abstract The Robertson-Keynes controversy that surrounded the publication of Keynes’s A Treatise on Money (1930) and The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money (1936), consisted of a series of exchanges between the two former collaborators on questions relating to the definition of and the relationship between saving, investment, money and the rate of interest. It was recorded in a number of journal articles and an extensive personal correspondence that has been printed in Keynes’s CW, XIII, XIV and XXIX. Of the ‘many a long talk, chasing the truth’ referred to in Harrod’s biography of Keynes (1951, p. 371), nothing, of course, remains.
