Abstract: Abstract In contrast to the lucid brilliance of much of Keynes’s work, the General Theory is often described as a badly written book. Untidy, lacking a clear design, with ideas not fully thought out and arguments flawed by obscurities, inconsistencies or actual error, etc. — the perceived defects are numerous.1 They are considered either to be evidence of Keynes’s struggles to free himself from orthodoxy or are ascribed to the hasty preparation required to bring the new ideas before a world thought to be in urgent need of them.
