What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Skidelsky’s book is a provocative look at a side of the great economist that has often been neglected.”—MoneyWeek
“A fascinating presentation of powerful and timeless ideas. A great writer brought to the modern moment by a wise guide.”—Simon Johnson, Nobel Laureate in Economics
“Keynes for Our Times is an elegant and succinct account of the most influential economist of the twentieth century, by the preeminent scholar of his life and ideas. It is made all the more compelling by framing it to answer the questions: what would Keynes have made of our current fractured time, and how would he propose to solve the economic challenges we face?”—Liaquat Ahamed, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Lords of Finance: The Bankers Who Broke the World
“Skidelsky’s book is a concerto—lively, accessible, balanced, relevant, moving, and perfectly composed. With this recapitulation, Keynes rises from the mists in all his poise, clarity, magic, and charm.”—James K. Galbraith, The University of Texas at Austin
