A Wider View of John Maynard Keynes: Beyond the General Theory of Employment

by Joseph R. Cammarosano

Overview

Most works on John Maynard Keynes deal with his General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money and his theory of unemployment. Much less well-known are his publications on money, finance, and international trade. This book fills that void by providing an analysis of Keynes’ works from “Indian Currency and Finance” to “The Proposal for a Currency Union.” It seeks to show that his concerns extended beyond his magnum opus to include the monetary and financial concerns of Great Britain and the world at large.

Editorial Reviews

A delightful triptych through the development of the thought and analysis of Keynes’s work. Ideally suited as a supplement to a macroeconomics course which could serve as a stark contrast to the mainstream New Keynesian content which has little if nothing to do with Keynes or Keynesian economics.
