Most of the essays in this book were first collected and published
in 1933, when Keynes had reached a turning point in a highly
successful career as an academic economist, as an official economic
advisor, opponent of the reparation imposed on Germany and critic
of the orthodox economic policies of British governments. Before
devoting himself fully to the final stages of his journey towards
The General Theory, Keynes put together these examples of one of
his favourite literary genres, the psychological portrait and
biographical sketch. With the additions made in 1951 and 1972, the
book contains almost all of Keynes's biographical writings: his
savage portraits of the architects of the Treaty of Versailles and
sketches of other politicians, including Asquith and Churchill;
some classic accounts of the lives of economists; a pair of
autobiographical memoirs; a short study of Newton; and many acute
and affectionate character sketches of friends.
