Description

THE DEFINITIVE SINGLE-VOLUME BIOGRAPHY Robert Skidelsky’s three-volume biography of John Maynard Keynes has been acclaimed as the authoritative account of the good economist-statesman’s life. Here, Skidelsky has revised and abridged his magnum opus into one definitive book, which examines in its entirety the intellectual and ideological journey that led an extraordinarily gifted young man to concern himself with the sensible problems of an age overshadowed by war. John Maynard Keynes offers a sympathetic account of the lifetime of a passionate visionary and an invaluable insight into the commercial philosophy that also remains on the centre of political and economic thought. ROBERT SKIDELSKY is Emeritus Professor of Political Economy on the University of Warwick. His three volume biography of John Maynard Keynes (1983, 1992, 2000) received a lot of prizes, including the Lionel Gelber Prize for International Relations and the Council on Foreign Relations Prize for International Relations. (‘This three-volume lifetime of the British economist will have to be given a Nobel Prize for History if there used to be one of these thing’ – Norman Stone.) He used to be made a life peer in 1991, and a Fellow of the British Academy in 1994. ‘A masterpiece of biographical and historical analysis’ – New York Times
