| In Keynes the Man, Murray Rothbard makes use of modern research methods to construct an absolutely devastating portrait of the life and works of John Maynard Keynes. This minibiography covers Keynes's schooling, his membership in secret societies, and his political associations and sponsors — as well the intellectual shifts and dodges he employed throughout his life. To put it mildly, Keynes was not the genius liberal he is reputed to be. He was instead shifty, duplicitous, and manipulative from beginning to end, and his deliberate obfuscations of economic theory reflect those personal traits. When present-day newscasters go on about how Keynes has saved us and will continue to do so, it is good to be armed with the truth about the man who reconstructed economics as he saw fit. You will be alternately amazed and outraged that his writings have inspired government policy for so many decades. |
