Description

"John Maynard Keynes was one of the seminal thinkers of the twentieth century, a luminary whose groundbreaking ideas remain even today at the center of political and economic discussion. In this work of clarity and erudition, Robert Skidelsky offers a revised and abridged version of his award-winning three-volume biography of Keynes, which has long been acclaimed as the authoritative account of the great economist-statesman's life. In one definitive volume, Skidelsky examines in its entirely the intellectual and ideological journey that led an extraordinarily gifted young man to concern himself with the practical problems of an age overshadowed by war. John Maynard Keynes offers a sympathetic account of the life and influences of a passionate visionary."--Jacket.
