About This Item
London: MacMillan & Company, 1923. First edition of this important treatise, which is devoted to the need for stable currency as the indispensable foundation to a healthy world economy. Octavo, original blue cloth with gilt titles to the spine. In near fine condition with light shelfwear. A very sharp example. "To those who wish to seek early indications of the theories that were later to appear in the General Theory, the Tract is the most rewarding source. In it will be found, above all, the clearest possible demonstration of Keynes’s abiding interest in the objective of stabilizing the level of business activity" (Roll, A History of Economic Thought).
Synopsis
John Maynard Keynes (1883-1946) was the most influential economist of the first half of the twentieth century. During both world wars he was an adviser to the British treasury, and his theory of government stimulation of the economy through deficit spending influenced Franklin D. Roosevelt's "New Deal" administration. The mass unemployment caused by the Great Depression inspired his two most famous works, A Treatise on Money and General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money.
