F 298 pages; the prefatory remarks by Keynes justify his resignation from the table at the Paris Peace Conference and the book reveals his reasons doing so; John Maynard Keynes, Baron Keynes (1883-1946) famed British economist, "...it was he who opened up the whole area of macroeconomics, which seeks to explain what governs the level of output, income, and employment. His name will continue to be associated with what has been a major transformation in economic theory...Keynes neither solved all the old problems nor foresaw all the new ones. We do not know what fresh solutions he might have offered to current problems. But at least he has provided us with a better starting point for reviewing the workings of the economy and given us an impressive demonstration of the power of economic ideas to remedy some of its defects."
