Keynes and His Critics - Treasury Responses to the Keynesian Revolution 1925-1946

Zusatztext Keynes remains a commanding figure both in the history of economic theory and in the history of economic policy, especially that pursued by the British Treasury . . . Nobody has documented the activities of the 20th-century Treasury more authoritatively than Peden, or more convincingly entered into the mentality of the Treasury knights, who arguments for resisting Keynes used to be caricatured by second-generation Keynesians as simply laughable.Keynes and His Critics, by printing their internal memoranda and minutes, allows them to speak for themselves Klappentext These documents, published here for the first time, present the Treasury's counter-arguments during the period when Keynes was developing the ideas that led to the Keynesian revolution in economic policy. Economists and historians have tended to assume that Keynes was right and the Treasury was wrong; this volume shows that the Treasury anticipated the political problems that would be encountered in putting Keynes's ideas into practice. The topics covered include the return to the gold standard, unemployment, inflation and the international economy. This edition complements the Royal Economic Society's Collected Writings of John Maynard Keynes, and sheds new light on a formative period in British history. Zusammenfassung These documents present the Treasury's counter-arguments during the period when Keynes was developing the ideas that led to the Keynesian revolution in economic policy. The topics covered include the return to the gold standard, unemployment, inflation and the international economy.
