John Maynard Keynes: Fighting for Britain, 1937-1946
Robert Skidelsky
The eagerly awaited third, and final, volume of Robert Skidelsky’s definitive and consummate biography of John Maynard Keynes covers the period from 1937, when Keynes had become the world’s most influential economist, to his death in 1946. It focuses on Keynes’s outstanding contribution to the financing of Britain’s war effort, the building of the postwar economic order, and his role in the “other war”—Britain’s struggle to preserve its independence within the Atlantic Alliance. Insightful and intelligent, this is a work that tells the story of one of`the most important and fascinating men of the twentieth century and provides an invaluable overview of matters that remain at the center of political and economic discussion.
