SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money is the pinnacle of the intellectual achievements of John Maynard Keynes, and certainly his most well-known work." "This book is a comprehensive guide for those seeking to fully understand the General Theory, and especially those approaching Keynes' seminal work for the first time. It provides a wide-ranging overview of the work, covering both the familiar and lesser-known elements, and sets it amongst Keynes' other writings so that key ideas can be set within a wider context. The book also highlights Keynes' important policy insights and includes key background details which further illuminate Keynes' work. The General Theory is essential reading for any economics student or scholar, and this book is an essential introduction to Keynes' most influential text."--Jacket.
