Description
John Maynard Keynes' economic theories have become increasingly relevant in recent years, as governments seek to stimulate the market through public funds. Formed during the Great Depression, Keynes argued that a healthy economy depends on the total spending of consumers, business investors and governments.
In "Introducing Keynes", this influential economist's ideas are presented in an accessible and engaging way. The book explores how Keynes believed governments should take control of the economy in the short term, rather than relying solely on market forces, as he famously noted: 'in the long run, we are all dead'.
This graphic guide provides a timely introduction to one of the most influential economists of the 20th century, making it an ideal read for anyone looking to understand the current economic landscape.
