The Life of John Maynard Keynes

“[The Life of John Maynard Keynes] fulfills expectation. It is reliable, instructive, vivid, sensitive and a pleasure to read. It is a due memorial to a man whom Mr. Harrod, without overstatement, describes as ‘one of the greatest Englishmen of his age.’. . .The ordinary citizen, bewildered by economics, will read this book with exhilaration—even with passionate exhilaration—as an account of an astounding personality. . . .His, certainly, was the most compelling personality that I have ever encountered.” —Harold Nicolson, The Observer
