Robert Skidelsky's Keynes: The Return of the Master shows how the
great economist's ideas not only explain why the current financial
crisis occurred - but are our best way out. 'One would expect
brokers to be wrong. If, in addition to their other inside
advantages, they were capable of good advice, clearly they would
have retired long ago with a large fortune' John Maynard Keynes
When unbridled capitalism falters, is there an alternative? The
twentieth century's most influential economist tells us that there
is. John Maynard Keynes argued that an unmanaged market system is
inherently unstable because of irreduceable uncertainty; that
fiscal and monetary ammunition is needed to counter economic
shocks; and that governments need to maintain enough total spending
power in the economy to minimize the chance of serious recessions
happening. 'The great economist's theories have never been more
relevant ... and Robert Skidelsky is the guide of choice ... A must
read' Paul Krugman, Observer 'Keynes's economic policies helped
lift Britain from its 1930s slump. This accessible, timely study
argues he could do the same again' Dominic Lawson, Sunday Times
'Masterly ... conveys complex ideas with clarity and controlled
anger' Oliver Kamm, The Times 'Skidelsky knows more about Keynes
than anyone alive ... he is righteous in his thunder ...
provocative ... refreshing' Dwight Gardner, The New York Times
'Thought-provoking ... the best account I have read of the
development of the credit crunch' Samuel Brittan, Financial Times
Robert Skidelsky is Emeritus Professor of Political Economy at the

including the Lionel Gelber Prize for International Relations and

He is also the author of the The World After Communism (1995).
