Before devoting himself fully to the final stages of his journey towards The General Theory, Keynes put together these examples of one of his favourite literary genres, the psychological portrait and biographical sketch. With the additions made in 1951 and 1972, the book contains almost all of Keynes's biographical writings: his savage portraits of the architects of the Treaty of Versailles and sketches of other politicians, including Asquith and Churchill; some classic accounts of the lives of economists; a pair of autobiographical memoirs; a short study of Newton; and many acute and affectionate character sketches of friends. 606 $aEconomists$vBiography 606 $aStatesmen$vBiography 615 0$aEconomists 615 0$aStatesmen 676 $a330.0922 700 $aKeynes$b John Maynard$f1883-1946,$034099 702 $aWinch$b Donald 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910573822803321 996 $aCollected writings of John Maynard Keynes$950327 997 $aUNINA
