Distinguished British economist John Maynard Keynes (1883-1946) set off a series of movements that dramatically altered the ways in which economists view the world. In his most important work, The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money (1936), Keynes critiqued the laissez faire policies of the day, particularly the proposition that a normally functioning market economy will bring full employment. Keynes' forward-looking work transformed economics from merely a descriptive and analytic discipline to one that is policy-oriented. For Keynes, enlightened government intervention in a nation's economic life was essential to curbing what he saw as the inherent inequalities and instabilities of unregulated capitalism.

Customer Rating:
Summary: It is Keynes al over again
Comment: Every economist that wants to get some understanding of the current crisis must read the general theory of Keynes. Not only is it highly relevant but also well written.
Customer Rating:
Summary: This BN edition of Keynes has many errors in the equations
Comment: The BN edition has errors in the equations, errors that make the book incomprehensible. Find another edition of Keynes's General Theory.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Best Version for the Kindle
Comment: The version of Keynes' "The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money" published by Signalman Publishing is the best one for the Kindle because it is specially formatted for easy navigation using your Kindle. Students will especially appreciate using this with your Kindle because you don't have to read it straight through. You can do word lookup and also use the hyperlinked Table of Contents.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Backwards, and Repeatedly Debunked
Comment: This book is a lesson in garbage in, garbage out. Keynes starts with numerous false assumptions, and follows them to their false conclusions. Keynes has been proven wrong time and again, not only through the texts of much better economic writers (Hayek, Rothbard, Mises), but also through the plain facts of history.
Keynes' book reads like through the looking glass, where down is up, and everyone is drunk at a mad tea party. Keynes' ideas are precisely what will (and already have) lead society to economic failure and misery. The current financial crisis is only the latest in examples of why Keynes was wrong.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Horribly formatted
Comment: This version is virtually unreadable, due to its terrible formatting, which clearly no one bothered to even glance at after some kind of machine translation from another format.
