The following is excerpted from the book's write-up on its rear cover : "The Twenty eight essays in this fascinating and important collection may be divided into three groups : : the first is concerned with Keynes's early life and his relations with 'Bloomsbury', and Cambridge; the second with his major contributions to economics and to British and world affairs (written for the general reader as well as economists); the third deals with various aspects of his life and work which reveal the immense range of his intellectual and other interests. The book is, in effect, a biography by many authors." Said the "New Humanist" in a review : " Much has been written about the importance of Keynes's contribution to modern economic thinking, but little about Keynes the man. This enormously interesting collection of essays redresses the balance. We get from them a many-sided view of Keynes - as lover, art and book collector, biographer, philosopher ---" TITLE : Essays on John Maynard Keynes AUTHORS : Numerous EDITOR : Milo Keynes IMPRINT : Cambridge University Press PLACE : Cambridge, England DATE : (1980) EDITION : Second paperback printing; overall 5th printing.
