Description
John Maynard Keynes: The Price of Peace At the outbreak of World War I, a young academic's life was forever changed by a frantic journey that would propel him to the forefront of European treasuries and beyond. Keynes's experiences during the war years transformed him from a comfortable obscurity into a leading intellectual of his day, whose ideas continue to shape our understanding of economics and politics. As an economist and anti-authoritarian thinker, Keynes devoted his life to the pursuit of peace and the power of art and ideas to conquer war and deprivation. This biography offers a compelling portrait of a man whose enduring relevance is heightened by crisis, and whose ideas remain as timely and thought-provoking today as they were during his lifetime. Through a meticulously researched and engaging narrative, this book sheds new light on the life and work of John Maynard Keynes, a man whose influence on modern thought and policy continues to be felt.
