Keynes and F. H. Knight.This book critically discusses and systematically compares J.M. Keynes and F. H. Knight, two giants in the history of economic thought. In 1921 they both published apparently similar books on risk, probability, and uncertainty. However, while Knight's contribution on risk and uncertainty is now well recognized, Keynes's work on probability and uncertainty has been somewhat ignored in the shadow of his more famous The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money (1936). Focusing on an earlier yet equally important volume by Keynes, A Treatise on Probability (1921), this book sheds a light on his outstanding ideas and the lasting influence on his later works, including The General Theory. There are few books that systematically discuss Keynes and Knight, although there are remarkable comparisons between Keynes's concept of probability and uncertainty and Knight's distinction between a measurable risk and a non-measurable uncertainty. This timely book unifies Keynes and Knight into a new, comprehensive approach to a very complex human behavior.Evolutionary Economics and Social Complexity Science,2198-4204 ;18Economic historyEconomic theoryHistory of Economic Thought/Methodologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W28000Economic Theory/Quantitative Economics/Mathematical Methodshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W29000Economic Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W41000Economic history.Economic theory.History of Economic Thought/Methodology.Economic Theory/Quantitative Economics/Mathematical Methods.Economic History.330.1509Sakai Yasuhiroauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut851296BOOK9910350328903321J.M.
