Keynes's General Theory - A Retrospective View - Paperback

by A. C. Pigou (Author)

This antiquarian book contains Arthur Cecil Pigou's 1950 economic treatise, "Keynes's General Theory - A Retrospective View". This fascinating monograph will appeal to those with an interest in modern economics, and is not to be missed by collectors of such literature. John Maynard Keynes (1883-1946) was a British economist whose contributions to economic theory have provided the foundation for modern macroeconomics and governmental economic policies. He built on and greatly refined earlier work on the causes of business cycles, and his ideas became the basis for the school of thought known as 'Keynesian economics' and its various offshoots. Arthur Cecil Pigou (1877-1959) was an English economist and lecturer, who was pivotal in the formation and development of the University of Cambridge's school of economics. Many vintage texts such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now, in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
