Skidelsky, John Maynard Keynes:The Economist as Savior,1920-1937

gebonden hardcover.afgeschreven.

Volume two of the biography that began with John Maynard Keynes: hope betrayed,
1883-1920 traces his life, his work, and their relationship to world events through the reception of the general theory in 1937. Keynes (1883-1946), in Skidelsky's view, was a practical visionary whose achievement was to align economics with changes taking place in ethics, politics and society in a post-WW1 world cut adrift from victorian certitudes, its economy in shambles.

This magisterial, gracefully written biography, the second volume in the acclaimed life of the English economist, charts Keynes's metamorphosis from Bloomsbury aesthete and college administrator to self-professed world savioUr who sought a remedy for the failures of capitalism in active government intervention in the market and monetary policies. Keynes's marriage to Russian ballerina Lydia Lopokova in 1925 gave him emotional ballast. His decisive role in shaping the policies of David Lloyd George's liberal coalition and his influence on his new deal are skillfully related here. Skidelsky, a British professor of international studies, critiques Keynes's technocratic, anti-democratic bias; and reassesses Keynesian economics'; relevance in this penetrating biography.
