The Cambridge ‘Circus’

Richard F. Kahn

Chapter Chapter 5 in Richard F. Kahn, 2022, pp 87-95 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Kahn was very close to Keynes in the years preceding and following the publication of the General Theory. Together with Joan Robinson, Meade, Austin Robinson—who were members of the “Circus”—Kahn played the leading role in orienting Keynes’s thought in certain significant aspects through discussion and debate during the months when the General Theory was taking shape. The question of the role of Kahn and the “Circus” has given rise to very conflicting judgments in the literature. This essay, published in 1985, is an important personal testimony to the discussions of those months, during which the so-called “multiplier” article was also conceived.
