Opis

John Maynard Keynes's seminal The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money remains central to economic debate over sixty years after its publication. This book shows how Keynes's masterpiece is best understood not as an attempt to tackle the immediate policy issues of this age but to extend the range of thought available to economists. Understood as such, it continues to provide the most effective framework to the central issues about the functioning of the economy. The authors offer a clear exposition of Keynes's thought and its continuing relevance for economists in academic, business and government life.
