Delphi Collected Works of John Maynard Keynes (Illustrated)

Résumé du livre

John Maynard Keynes was an English economist, journalist and financier, best known for his economic theories (Keynesian economics) on the causes of prolonged unemployment. He was also a noted writer of brief biographies of leading figures of his day, offering a masterclass in intellectual portraiture. His landmark work ‘The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money’ advocated a remedy for economic recession based on a government-sponsored policy of full employment. By the late 1930’s, leading Western economies had begun adopting his policy recommendations. Almost all capitalist governments had done so by the end of the two decades following his death in 1946. This eBook presents Keynes’ collected (close to complete) works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, concise introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)
