Keynes always intended to write footnotes to his masterwork The General Theory, which would take account of the criticisms made of it and allow him to develop and refine his ideas further. However, a number of factors combined to prevent him from doing so before his death in 1946. A wide range of Keynes scholars - including James Tobin, Paul Davidson and Lord Skidelsky - have written here the footnotes that Keynes never did.

This second volume contains essays which relate to developments in Keynes scholarship and theorizing since his death, and demonstrates the ongoing nature of the Keynesian tradition.
