9781933550725: Keynes, the Man

Synopsis

Here is Rothbard's mini-biography of Lord Keynes, one that makes use of all modern research to reconstruct Keynes's life and works in a way that is absolutely devastating. We read about his schooling, his secret societies, his political associations and sponsors - as well as his intellectual shifts and dodges throughout his life.To put it mildly, Keynes was not the genius liberal of his reputation. He shifty, duplicitous, and manipulative from beginning to end, and his deliberately obfuscating economic theory reflects those traits.When the newscasters go on about how Keynes saved us and will continue to do so, it would be good to be armed with the truth about the man who reconstructed economics as he saw fit. You will be alternately amazed and outraged that the thoughts of this man have inspired government policy for so many decades. In fact, as Murray demonstrates, that explains so much about what is wrong with government policy.Murray Rothbard writes with spunk and verve in this investigative report.
