`Moggridge has written a fine book about a famous economist' - The CP?

`He writes throughout with a great sureness of touch... combining an outsider's perspective with an instinctive insider's knowledge. It is an admirable biography, long but single-volume, comprehensive and minutely informed...wise and readable' - Roy Jenkins, The Observer

`Keynes firmly believed that economists' lives were worth studying as a way of illuminating their ideas; and Donald Moggridge's monumental new biography does this quite brilliantly for 'JMK' himself' - Niall Ferguson, The Daily Mail

`... this volume of nearly 1000 pages is unlikely to be superseded in scope or accuracy.' - Political Studies

`... indisputably a major contribution to understanding Keynes.' - John Davis, Economics and Philosophy
