5.0 out of 5 stars Not only THE economics text..., 22 Jun 2007

By	MarkE (Oxford, UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money: Vol.7 (Paperback)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars The basis of modern economic debate, 2 May 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money (Great Minds Series) (Paperback)

While I tend towards the opposing view of Classical economics, Keynesian economics cannot easily be argued away. Keynes' theories are the foundation of our present Federal Reserve system and remain the basis for much of modern economic thought. Definitely a must-read for any aspiring economist.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Bible of Economics, 7 May 2004

By	Dale Le Page - See all my reviews

This review is from: The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money (Great Minds Series) (Paperback)

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.
