Synopsis "The Collected Writings of John Maynard Keynes 30 Volume Paperback Set: The Collected Writings of John Maynard Keynes: Volume 9, Essays in Persuasion, Paperback "

Most of the essays in this book were first collected together in October 1931, immediately after Britain had left the gold standard. They reflected Keynes's attempts over the previous dozen years to influence public opinion and policy over the Treaty of Versailles, over which he had resigned from the Treasury in June 1919, reparations and inter-allied war debts, stabilisation policy, the gold standard and the shape of liberal politics in Britain. In 1972 the essays were reprinted with the full texts of the pamphlets - Can Lloyd George Do It?, The Economic Consequences of Mr Churchill, A Short View of Russia and The End of Laissez Faire. At that time, the full texts of his two post-1931 pamphlets - The Means to Prosperity and How to Pay for the War - were added. The book contains examples of Keynes's finest writing on economic policy and politics. This edition includes an introduction by Donald Moggridge.

John Maynard Keynes (Cambridge, 1883 – Sussex, 1946) was an influential British economist whose ideas radically transformed the theory and economic policy of the 20th century. Educated at Eton and the University of Cambridge, he was a member of the Bloomsbury Group and had a distinguished career as a civil servant, academic, and advisor to the British government. His macroeconomic theory laid the foundations for what would later be known as Keynesian economics, advocating state intervention to stabilize the economic cycle.

Among his most recognized works are The Economic Consequences of the Peace (1919), A Revision of the Treaty (1922), A Treatise on Money (1930), and The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money (1936), the latter considered his magnum opus. Although he did not receive formal awards in his lifetime, his legacy is immense and his influence has endured in the economic policy of numerous countries, especially after the Great Depression and World War II.
