John Maynard Keynes by Robert Skidelsky
This is the eagerly awaited third and final volume of Robert Skidelsky's definitive and consummate biography of John Maynard Keynes.
'Nobody who wants to understand one of the most extraordinary Englishmen of his time can do without this biography' EJ. Hobsbawm 'Robert Skidelsky has devoted 20 years to his life of John Maynard Keynes and, with this, the third volume of a biography of Proustian proportions, he has demonstrated that the whole enterprise was worth every ounce of the struggle.' William Keegan, Observer 'This is a throughly fair-minded book, diligently researched and elegantly written. It crowns the edifice of one of the outstanding biographical enterprises of our time... It hides little or nothing, enabling us to understand far more about one of the giants of the 20th century.' Anthony Howard, Management Today
