John Maynard Keynes is undoubtedly the most influential Western economist of the twentieth century. His emphasis on the

nature and role of uncertainty in economic thought is a dominant theme in his writings.

This book brings together a wide array of experts on Keynes' thought such as Gay Tulip Meeks, Sheila Dow and John Davis who discuss, analyse and

criticise such themes as:

Keynesian probability and uncertainty

the foundations of Keynes' economics

the

relationship between Keynes' earlier and later thought

The Philosophy of Keynes' Economics is a readable and comprehensive book that will interest students and academics interested in the man and his thought. Given Keynsianism's refusal to go away, this book will be an important source for years to come. Bradley W. Bateman Grinnell College, Iowa; Jorg Bibow

Reviews for The Philosophy of Keynes' Economics: Probability, Uncertainty and Convention

'[It is] a very useful addition to an already considerable literature, and it can replace in part the reading of the totality of this literature. It deserves to be added to reading lists of all courses on Keynes.'- Economics and Philosophy 'An extremely useful introduction to the Keynes and philosophy literature that has the great advantage of letting the participants in controversies speak for themselves.' -- D.E. Moggridge, Professor of Economics, University of Toronto, Canada. 'Afficionados of the old economics literature know that Smith's Theory of Moral Sentiments, Malthus's Principles ..., Marshall's Industry & Trade, and Commons's Legal Foundations likely surpass in originality and insights the books for which these worthies are generally known. So too Maynard Keynes's Treatise on Probability surpasses his more popular reads. This significant volume brings together 18 critical essays (plus an Introduction that truly orients the reader) which serve to reintroduce Keynes's brilliance to readers who have read and perhaps tired of his General Theory. Cambridge is not yet done with Keynes, and the profession is not yet done with Cambridge.' Mark Perlman, University of Pittsburgh, USA. '[It is] a very useful addition to an already considerable literature, and it can replace in part the reading of the totality of this literature. It deserves to be added to reading lists of all courses on Keynes.' -- Economics and Philosophy
