Synopsis
British historian Peter Clarke's fresh biography of John Maynard Keynes brings the 20th century's influential thinker to life, as he situates the great economist within the difficult historical times for which his ideas had great relevance. Clarke provides a fascinating and thorough account of his countryman's personal world--as a member of the famed Bloomsbury circle, as an openly public homosexual who loved men and who also had a reportedly happy marriage with a Russian ballerina, and as a citizen involved in the arts and public affairs. He also examines Keynes's career, which spanned many decades and two major wars, as he explains the sometimes difficult theories and shows how they were the corrective that saved a world in crisis. Peter Clarke's KEYNES is published at another time of crisis, when there is a renewed interest in Keynes's theories.

Publisher's Note
An assessment of the New Deal economist's financial insights considers how his post-World War II doctrine of corrective action may be adapted to address current financial challenges, in an account that also evaluates aspects of Keynes's personal life and political beliefs.

Industry Reviews
"Clarke lays out the development of Keynes's economics from the mid-1920s to his GENERAL THEORY, and it's a gripping journey.
....One comes away from this account impressed by the continual interplay between theory and economic reality in Keynes's work."
