John Maynard Keynes

John Maynard Keynes's books examine employment, money, probability, public policy and the consequences of economic decisions made under uncertainty. The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money asks why an economy can settle into prolonged unemployment and how expectations influence investment and demand. A Treatise on Probability studies the reasoning people use when evidence cannot support complete certainty. The Economic Consequences of the Peace links financial arrangements to political stability, while A Revision of the Treaty returns to the costs of settlements that ignore practical recovery. Across these works, Keynes treats economic life as shaped by confidence, institutions and time as well as calculation. Abstract models remain connected to choices whose effects spread through work, prices and public trust.
