“[The Life of John Maynard Keynes] fulfills expectation. It is reliable, instructive, vivid, sensitive and a pleasure to read. It is a due memorial to a man whom Mr. Harrod, without overstatement, describes as ‘one of the greatest Englishmen of his age.’. . .The ordinary citizen, bewildered by economics, will read this book with exhilaration—even with passionate exhilaration—as an account of an astounding personality. . . .His, certainly, was the most compelling personality that I have ever encountered.” —Harold Nicolson, The Observer

The Life of John Maynard Keynes traces the life and career of the famous English economist and evaluates his contribution to modern economic policy making.
