Synopsis "The Collected Writings of John Maynard Keynes 30 Volume Paperback Set: The Collected Writings of John Maynard Keynes: Volume 7, the General Theory, Paperback "

In 1936 Keynes published the most provocative book written by any economist of his generation. The General Theory, as it is known to all economists, cut through all the Gordian Knots of pre-Keynesian discussion of the trade cycle and propounded a new approach to the determination of the level of economic activity, the problems of employment and unemployment and the causes of inflation. Arguments about the book continued until his death in 1946 and still continue today. Despite all that has been written in the subsequent years, Keynes and his book still represent the turning point between the old economics and the new from which each generation of economists needs to take its inspiration.

John Maynard Keynes (Cambridge, 1883 – Sussex, 1946) was an influential British economist whose ideas radically transformed the theory and economic policy of the 20th century. Educated at Eton and the University of Cambridge, he was a member of the Bloomsbury Group and had a distinguished career as a civil servant, academic, and advisor to the British government. His macroeconomic theory laid the foundations for what would later be known as Keynesian economics, advocating state intervention to stabilize the economic cycle.

Among his most recognized works are The Economic Consequences of the Peace (1919), A Revision of the Treaty (1922), A Treatise on Money (1930), and The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money (1936), the latter considered his magnum opus. Although he did not receive formal awards in his lifetime, his legacy is immense and his influence has endured in the economic policy of numerous countries, especially after the Great Depression and World War II.
