Introducing Keynes: A Graphic Guide (Graphic Guides) - Softcover
As we find ourselves at the cusp of an economic downturn, there has been a clear reinvigoration of Keynesian economics as governments are attempting to stimulate the market through public funds. Forming his economic theories in the wake of the Great Depression, John Maynard Keynes argued that a healthy economy depended on the total spending of consumers, business investors and, most importantly, governments too. Keynes formulated that governments should take control of the economy in the short term, rather than relying on the market, because, as he eloquently put it 'in the long run, we are all dead'. This graphic guide is the ideal introduction to one of the most influential economists of the 20th century, at a time when his theories may be crucial to our economic survival. Through a deft mixture of words and images, "Introducing Keynes" is a timely, accessible and enjoyable read.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Garratt, Chris (illustrator). Paperback. Keynes was arguably the twentieth century's greatest economist, and as a new recession bites it is his ideas that are being called into action by governments across the globe. In the wake of the Great Depression, Keynes advocated that governments spend vast anounts of money to create jobs and prosperity. His ideas revolutionized government and helped create an economic consensus that was shattered only by the monetarism of Reagan and Thatcher's 1980s. Keynes himself was a complex man: an establishment figure who married a Russian ballerina in spite of his homosexuality. He was passionate about the arts and considered by all who met him to be supremely clever. Peter Pugh and Chris Garratt's graphic introduction is the essential read for anyone keen to understand this brilliant man and prophetic thinker.
