There have been a number of important, pioneering studies in the analysis of Keynes' philosophical writings, his work as a policy advisor, as well as biographies. What has not been attempted is a full-scale analysis of how the various parts of Keynes' most mature work in the General Theory can be understood in the context of the social thought, policy questions and economics literature that shaped his outlook on theoretical questions. This book fills that gap and is a significant addition to the literature on the most influential economist of the twentieth century.
