Economic Possibilities for Our Grandchildren

John Maynard Keynes

Chapter 2 in Essays in Persuasion, 2010, pp 321-332 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract We are suffering just now from a bad attack of economic pessimism. It is common to hear people say that the epoch of enormous economic progress which characterised the nineteenth century is over; that the rapid improvement in the standard of life is now going to slow down—at any rate in Great Britain; that a decline in prosperity is more likely than an improvement in the decade which lies ahead of us.
