John Maynard Keynes: 1883-1946: Economist, Philosopher, Statesman [ABRIDGED] Horror Book Review

  Robert Skidelsky’s three-volume biography of John Maynard Keynes has been acclaimed   as the authoritative account of the great economist-statesman’s life. Here, Skidelsky has   revised and abridged his magnum opus into one definitive book, which examines in its   entirety the intellectual and ideological journey that led an extraordinarily gifted young   man to concern himself with the practical problems of an age overshadowed by war.  Meticulously researched and beautifully written, John Maynard Keynes offers a   sympathetic account of the life and influences of a passionate visionary and an invaluable   insight into the economic philosophy that still remains at the center of political and   economic thought.
