 Greatest regression of a science in modern times. December 6, 2008
Paul D. Keen (UK)
1 out of 4 found this review helpful
This book helped return the world to a pre Smithian era, a 20th century mercantilism. The book itself is vague; inconsistent and an act of normative economics which is to say that it is not economics for it is not a science but a political philosophy. For the more widely read reader keynes partial acceptance that his "new" ideas written within this book are strikingly similar to 17th century mercantilist writers should have given pause to keynes and any reader of this work. To fully understand this hodgepodge of a book I'd advise reading a rebuttal of this book by Henry Hazlitt called "the fallacies of the "new economics"". Henry Hazlitt summed up this book best with the following words, he said he was "unable to find in it a single doctrine that is both true and original. What is original in the book is not true; and what is true is not original."
 Not only THE economics text... June 22, 2007

This book provided the foundation for most economic policy (in the west at least) through the middle of the 20th century, and as such must be considered among the most important books ever published. It will show the reader why certain decisions were taken, and how we got to where we are. Even if you don't agree with Keynes' theories this is an indispensable guide for anyone who wants to understand government economic policy.
Beyond his importance as an economist however, Keynes was a member of the Bloomsbury group of artists and Bohemians, and that is reflected in his writing. This is no novel, but there are few better written economic texts.
In the long-run, we are all dead so read this book June 11, 2004

This book, by the farther of modern macroeconomics, is one of the most influential economic texts to date. Not only did it form the basis of the post-war consensus, in the UK, but also in Europe and Northern America.This book, however, is worth a read in its own right. This will enable anyone to understand the budget with much more ease. Also if anyone is doing a course in Economics or Political Economy, it comes highly recommended.
The Bible of Economics May 7, 2004

It is on this book that all subsequent economic has either been based, or has been compared to.
As a student of economics, this book is a MUST read, fully explaining the theories of Aggregate Demand and it's effects (which Classical economists will tend to ignore) and how to influence this through the AD equation.
For the average reader, this book will explain much of the world around you, and will make budget speeches make much more sense.
All together, possibly one of the most important economic books of all time, still pertinent and holding still truer as the current gov't holds a Keynesian course on the economy whilst it flourishes.
The best piece of Economic literature of all time January 31, 2002

Although this book is slightly aged after the abolition of hereditary peers and devolution for Scotland and Wales, it is still worth reading for it's excellent and comprehensive critique of New Right Policy. The book starts with how the Conservatives fused Neo liberal thought with popular policies, creating an electoral machine which won four general elections in a row. It talks about how the Conservatives managed to manipulate the uncodified British constitution to great effect during the 1930's and 1940's.It simultaneously charts the crisis among the British Left, and the European Left in general, and how the New Labour experiment attempted to deal with this. The main thrust of the book is that the last twenty odd years have been an experiment in free market economics which have had serious effects on social cohesion, and given us the lowest paid workforce, yet the highest paid executives in Europe.
