El pensamiento de John Maynard Keynes tuvo un profundo impacto en la teoría económica del siglo XX. Tras oponerse al Tratado de Versalles y participar en el comité que investigó el crac del 29, escribió la Teoría general de la ocupación, el interés y el dinero, que en su día fue revolucionaria. Sus ideas, sin embargo, hoy se han integrado al sentido común: demanda agregada, rechazo del automatismo del mercado, la importancia del intervencionismo estatal, etc.Hoy, cuando la...

Though rightly credited for reshaping economic theory, Keynes's influence was more broadly based and is assessed here in a rounded historical, political and cultural context. Peter Clarke re-examines the full trajectory of Keynes's public career fro...
