Backhouse, Bradley W. Bateman1st ed.Cambridge, Mass. Harvard University Press20111 online resource (208 p.)Description based upon print version of record.9780674057753 0674057759 Includes bibliographical references and index.Keynes returns, but which Keynes? -- The rise and fall of Keynesian economics -- Keynes the moral philosopher: confronting the challenges to capitalism -- Keynes the physician: developing a theory of a capitalist economy -- Keynes's ambiguous revolution.The Great Recession of 2008 restored John Maynard Keynes to prominence. After decades when the Keynesian revolution seemed to have been forgotten, the great British theorist was suddenly everywhere. The New York Times asked, "What would Keynes have done?" The Financial Times wrote of "the undeniable shift to Keynes." Le Monde pronounced the economic collapse Keynes's "revenge." Two years later, following bank bailouts and Tea Party fundamentalism, Keynesian principles once again seemed misguided or irrelevant to a public focused on ballooning budget deficits. In this readable account, Backhouse and Bateman elaborate the misinformation and caricature that have led to Keynes's repeated resurrection and interment since his death in 1946.Keynes's engagement with social and moral philosophy and his membership in the Bloomsbury Group of artists and writers helped to shape his manner of theorizing. Though trained as a mathematician, he designed models based on how specific kinds of people (such as investors and consumers) actually behave-an approach that runs counter to the idealized agents favored by economists at the end of the century.Keynes wanted to create a revolution in the way the world thought about economic problems, but he was more open-minded about capitalism than is commonly believed. He saw capitalism as essential to a society's well-being but also morally flawed, and he sought a corrective for its main defect: the failure to stabilize investment. Keynes's nuanced views, the authors suggest, offer an alternative to the polarized rhetoric often evoked by the word "capitalism" in today's political debates.Keynesian economicsKeynesian economics.330.15/6092Backhouse Roger1951-129631Bateman Bradley W.1956-1804387MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910963078903321Capitalist revolutionary4352379UNINA01225nlm 2200301Ia 450 99666386600331620250703075804.020001208d1697---- uy 0engUKdrcnu<<The>> barren fig tree: or, The doom and downfall of the fruitless professorShewing, that the day of grace may be past with him long before his life is ended. : The signs also by which such miserable mortals may be knownBy John Bunyan. ; To which is added his Exhortation to peace and unity among all that fear God5. ed.GlasgowPrinted by Robert Sanders ...Anno Dom. 1697Testo elettronico (PDF) (118, 56 p.)Base dati testuale"An exhortation to peace"" ha una pagina separataRiproduzione dell'originale presso: British LibraryAltri autori: Bunyan, John, 1628-168Vita cristianaBNCF248.8BUNYAN,John1628-1688.131402ITcbaREICAT996663866003316EBERBarren fig tree, or, The doom and downfall of the fruitless professor4401485UNISA
