Keynes and The General Theory Revisited
«
"An excellent accompaniment to those grappling with the General Theory for the first time, as well as those returning to its complex structure and arguments...a very useful addition to the General Theory literature, helping to make sense of what was always a difficult book." Review of Radial Political Economics

Every time the economy goes through a period of crisis, Keynes' name is called upon by economists and politicians from diverse backgrounds. However, 70 years after the publication of The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money, specialists are still far-maybe everyday further-from reaching agreement about the genuine contents of Keynes' most important work.

This book is the result of rigorous critical research which reconstructs the spectrum of discussion surrounding Keynes' main work. The book begins by describing the historical background and the state of the pre-Keynesian economic theory, subsequently immersing the reader in a concise but detailed-as well as innovative- interpretation of the original text. The revision of some of the main interpretative currents prepares the field for the book's ultimate contribution: the identification of the fundamentals that sustain the analytical structure of The General Theory. At the same time, this exploration of the theoretical fundamentals of The General Theory makes this book an original intervention on the genesis and relevance of the divide between micro and macroeconomics-a division that has been fully accepted by contemporary macro theorists.
