A “Second Edition” of Keynes’ General Theory

John Maynard Keynes

Chapter 2 in Essays on Keynesian and Kaldorian Economics, 2015, pp 75-94 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract It was a splendid idea of Geoffrey Harcourt and Peter Riach (1997) to bring together so many distinguished economists who have studied and followed my work—including a few whom I knew as young men—to write a “second edition” of my General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money (hereafter, GT). The effort has been prodigious, with thirty-nine chapters in two volumes all written with insight and erudition, drawing also on the thirty volumes of my Collected Writings (CW— Moggridge, 1971–89). I feel deeply honored that there should still be so much interest in the simple ideas that I enunciated more than sixty years ago.
