Ed. Donald Moggridge. 'The slump in trade and employment and the business losses which are being incurred are as bad as the worst which have ever occurred in the modern history of the world. No country is exempt. The privation and -- what is sometimes worse -- the anxiety which exists today in millions of homes all over the world is extreme.' John Maynard Keynes, The Problem of Unemployment', volume IX 'Essays in Persuasion', page 135. ' In the aftermath of the financial crisis, world leaders and influential economists are once again turning to the ideas of John Maynard Keynes. Keynes is widely regarded as one of the most influential economist of the 20th century. His work revolutionised economic thinking in the 1930s, and his ideas and policies were followed by Governments around the world up until the 1970s. Keynes on the Wireless brings together transcripts of John Maynard Keynes' infamous BBC wireless broadcasts, covering the world economy during and in the aftermath of the Great Depression and moving into the first year of the World War II. With an introduction by Donald Moggridge, co-editor of the 'Collected Writings of John Maynard Keynes', this unique anthology provides an insight into Keynes' influence and legendary contribution to economics, which still resonates today.
