Richard Davenport-Hines

From the bestselling and award-winning author of 'An English Affair', a dazzlingly original thematic biography which throws fresh light on the greatest economist of the twentieth century.
John Maynard Keynes saved Britain from financial crisis twice over the course of two World Wars, and instructed Western industrialised states on how to protect themselves from revolutionary unrest, economic instability, high unemployment and social dissolution. In the wake of the recent global financial crisis, economists worldwide have once again turned to his ideas to confront their problems.
In this entertaining and edifying new biography, Richard Davenport-Hines introduces the man behind the economics; a connoisseur, intellectual, economist, administrator and statesman who was equally at ease socialising with the Bloomsbury Group as he was when influencing the policies of Presidents.
By exploring the desires and experiences that made Keynes think as he did, or compelled him to innovate, Davenport-Hines reveals the aesthetic basis of Keynesian economics, and explores why this Great Briton's ideas continue to instruct and encourage us seventy years after his death.
This top-notch political autobiography offers a comprehensive exploration of Keynes influence on economic policies. It provides a detailed account of his interactions with presidents and his significant role in shaping the economic landscape.
For fans of Ben Macintyre (The Spy and the Traitor), Christopher Clark (Kaiser Wilhelm II), Anna Keay (The Magnificent Monarch), and Richard Bassett (Hitler's Spy Chief).
