The situation is now totally different when the credit crunch has brought on genuine demand deficiency. But Keynes left unsolved the role…

  • Keynes’s political philosophy

    Open AccessSamuel BrittanCHAPTERThe Cambridge Companion to Keynes2006

    One reason why Keynes's political philosophy has become a big issue is the realization that Keynes started out as a philosopher and regarded his Treatise on Probability, which was published in 1921, but mainly written before the First World War, as a work of philosophy rather than mathematics.

    Samuel BrittanARTICLEInterdisciplinary Science Reviews1994

These considerations are applied to the evolving post-communist world, 'business ethics', the economics of politics, rational problem solving, sel…
