Reviews
Paul Krugman, Observer (UK) "An important contribution at a time of soul-searching, a must read even if one doesn't fully accept its conclusions…. This is a wonderfully stimulating book, one that reflects the author's unparalleled erudition. We're living in the second Age of Keynes-and Robert Skidelsky is still the guide of choice." Richard A. Posner, The New Republic "Skidelsky's summary of what is distinctive in Keynes's theory is excellent." Roy Hattersley, Guardian (UK) "Wonderfully lucid…. Ought to be considered required reading for every prospective minister." BusinessWeek "Explaining the present-day relevance of [Keynes'] theories is executed superbly by Skidelsky…. Skidelsky's book excels. It's a passionate polemic that makes a strong case for economists and policymakers to reread their Keynes." Charles R. Morris, Commonweal "A profound and beautifully written meditation on the dangers of bad ideas, readily accessible to anyone who isn't mystified by the headlines in the Wall Street Journal or the Economist ." James Srodes, Washington Times "Valuable…. A neat synthesis: a first-rate short biography for those who have avoided knowing the man behind the myth until now; a clearly written and accessible timeline of just how and why the current crisis broke upon us; and a clearly stated argument for why Keynes was both right and why his precepts must be followed once again."
