'... I think this volume is written to a high standard, its scholarship is solid and it is of good value to different audiences for different reasons. ... In the case of Keynes studies we have now evolved to the stage where current commentary is often written on the secondary literature, as each of these entries somewhat involves. But each is also loaded with references that should point interested readers to the relevant parts of Keynes's own original work, and that of his contemporaries and successors, for a long time to come.' Church History This is not simply (yet another) ad hoc collection of essays. It is that rare and commendable thing, a colleciton of essays with an argument and purpose. These essays make a new view of Keynes available to a broad audience. --Jay Foster, Memorial University: Philosophy in Review
