John Maynard Keynes once observed that the "ideas of economists
and political philosophers, both when they are right and when they
are wrong, are more powerful than is commonly understood." The
contributors to this volume take that assertion seriously. In a
full-scale study of the impact of Keynesian doctrines across
nations, their essays trace the reception accorded Keynesian ideas,
initially during the 1930s and then in the years after World War
II, in a wide range of nations, including Britain, the United
States, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and Scandinavia. The
contributors review the latest historical evidence to explain why
some nations embraced Keynesian policies while others did not. At a
time of growing interest in comparative public policy-making, they
examine the central issue of how and why particular ideas acquire
influence over policy and politics.
Based on three years of collaborative research for the Social
Science Research Council, the volume takes up central themes in
contemporary economics, political science, and history. The
contributors are Christopher S. Allen, Marcello de Cecco, Peter
Alexis Gourevitch, Eleanor M. Hadley, Peter A. Hall, Albert O.
Hirschman, Harold James, Bradford A. Lee, Jukka Pekkarinen, Pierre
Rosanvallon, Walter S. Salant, Margaret Weir, and Donald Winch.
