The economist who changed how we think about money, markets, and government.
John Maynard Keynes changed economics by asking a deceptively simple question: what happens when an economy stops working? In Simply Keynes, economist Roger Backhouse makes Keynes’s ideas easier to understand without losing what makes them important. From unemployment and economic downturns to government spending, interest rates, and the forces that drive economic growth, Backhouse explains the thinking behind the economist whose ideas transformed economic policy in the twentieth century. He also introduces Keynes the man, a brilliant and sometimes controversial figure whose interests extended far beyond economics. Whether you are new to Keynes or want a clearer understanding of why his ideas still matter, Simply Keynes provides an accessible introduction to one of the most influential economic thinkers of the modern era.
