The Philosophy of Keynes' Economics Reviews

'[It is] a very useful addition to an already considerable literature, and it can replace in part the reading of the totality of this literature. It deserves to be added to reading lists of all courses on Keynes.'- Economics and Philosophy


'An extremely useful introduction to the Keynes and philosophy literature that has the great advantage of letting the participants in controversies speak for themselves.' -- D.E. Moggridge, Professor of Economics, University of Toronto, Canada.

'Afficionados of the old economics literature know that Smith's Theory of Moral Sentiments, Malthus's Principles ..., Marshall's Industry & Trade, and Commons's Legal Foundations likely surpass in originality and insights the books for which these worthies are generally known. So too Maynard Keynes's Treatise on Probability surpasses his more popular reads. This significant volume brings together 18 critical essays (plus an Introduction that truly orients the reader) which serve to reintroduce Keynes's brilliance to readers who have read and perhaps tired of his General Theory. Cambridge is not yet done with Keynes, and the profession is not yet done with Cambridge.' Mark Perlman, University of Pittsburgh, USA.

'[It is] a very useful addition to an already considerable literature, and it can replace in part the reading of the totality of this literature. It deserves to be added to reading lists of all courses on Keynes.' -- Economics and Philosophy
