The principal objective of this book is to elucidate Keynes's development as an economic theoretician through examining his books, his articles, various manuscripts, lecture notes (very often taken by his students) and controversial correspondence. Hirai is not so much interested in relating a narrative, but instead in analysing the processes of theory-building and re-building which constitute Keynes's intellectual journey from the Tract to the General Theory. In short, the book aims to put forward Keynes's theoretical development as a theoretical hypothesis (and, collaterally, to show how this study differs from other studies). This book will be of great interest to students and researchers interested in Keynes and more widely the history of economic thought and macroeconomics.
