This updated edition takes account of new materials and new scholarship on Keynes that have appeared since 1980. It analyzes Keynes' intellectual origins and characteristic modes of thought so as to put Keynes' contributions to economics, economic policy-making and wider aspects of British life into perspective. D.E. Moggridge traces the emergence and impact of Keynes' works: "The Economic Consequences of Monetary Reform", "A Treatise on Money Probability" and "The General Theory". Moggridge is the joint managing editor of "The Collected Writings of John Maynard Keynes" and author of "The Return to Gold 1925" and "British Monetary Policy 1924-1931".

Covering the period 1943-45, these diaries cover issues such as the Bretton Woods UN Monetary Conference in 1944 and loan negotiations and the ITO, as recorded by Meade and Robbins.

Harry Johnson (1923-1977) was such a striking figure in economics that Nobel Laureate James Tobin designated the third quarter of the twentieth century as 'the age of Johnson'. Johnson played a leading role in the development and extension of the Heckscher-Ohlin model of international trade. Within monetary economics he was also a seminal figure who identified and explained the links between the ideas of the major post-war innovators. His discussion of the issues that would benefit from further work set the profession's agenda for a generation. This book chronicles his intellectual development and his contributions to economics, economic education and the discussion of economic policy.

Harry Johnson (1923-1977) was such a striking figure in economics that Nobel Laureate James Tobin designated the third quarter of the twentieth century as "the age of Johnson." Johnson played a leading role in the development and extension of the Heckscher-Ohlin model of international trade, wrote fundamental articles on the balance of payments and later developed the monetary approach to the balance of payments. Within monetary economics he was also a seminal figure who, in a series of surveys, identified and explained the links between the ideas of the major post-war innovators. This book chronicles his intellectual development and his contributions to economics, economic education, and, particularly in Canada and Britain, the discussion of economic policy.
