ABSTRACT

Though we suspect that Peter Groenewegen, like us, has a preference for the way in which Kalecki independently discovered some of the principal propositions of The General Theory, yet, like all right-minded persons (on the left), his admiration for Keynes, for his writings and the man himself, is very great. Moreover, as Peter is a superb historian of thought and the author of the magisterial biography of Marshall, we thought he would welcome this reading of the third and final volume of Robert Skidelsky’s magnificent life of Keynes as our contribution to his Festschrift. It is offered with our respect and affection.
