A STUDY OF KEYNES'S ECONOMICS
The principal objective of this study is to examine Keynes's
development as an economic theoretician. Our main work is to analyse the
processes of theory-building and re-building which constitute Keynes's intellectual
journey from the Treatise to the General Theory. Attention has also be given to
such topics as the historical development of various streams of economic
theory, economic policy and social philosophy, as well as to British and
international history to the extent that these are germane to a proper
understanding of Keynes's contribution to modern economics in the wider
perspective.
