On April 19, 1933, John Maynard Keynes delivered a lecture at
University College Dublin on 'National Self-Sufficiency' to an
audience that was largely composed of the political and
intellectual elite of the still young Irish Free State. 'Keynes in
Dublin' looks at the circumstances surrounding that famous lecture
and particularly the political aspect of Keynes's visit at a time
when relations between the new Free State government led by Eamon
de Valera and the British government were greatly strained. In an
important new contribution to Keynesian studies, the author
provides a fresh way of looking at what Keynes had to say in his
lecture. In particular, he demonstrates that the definitive version
of 'National Self-Sufficiency' is not that included in Keynes's
'Collected Writings' but is the version published in the Irish
journal 'Studies' in 1933, which also matches exactly a handwritten
manuscript prepared by Keynes. He also shows that the lecture can
only be fully understood within the context of the Irish political
situation at the time of its delivery. The version of the lecture
as published in 'Studies' is given in full in an appendix.
