Review:

"John Maynard Keynes presents a formidable challenge to biography....This biographical challenge is one that Lord Skidelsky continues to meet triumphantly. No one can properly write about Keynes without technical mastery of economics. To this Skidelsky, a professor of political economy at the university of Warwick in England, wonderfully adds a sturdy, skeptical sense of political reality, a discriminating appreciation of literature and the arts, sensitive insights into the individual psyche and an incisive and often witty style."

Arthur M. Schlesinger, New York Times Book Review, 1/23/94

Review:

"Skidelsky is a clear and competent writer, fully qualified as an economist and strongly sympathetic to his subject....The reader coming to this book and freshly to Keynes's life will be all but astounded."

John Kenneth Galbraith, Washington Monthly
