Sixty years after his death, the life and thought of the economist, John Maynard Keynes, continues to be a subject of the greatest interest to scholars. Yet one of the most significant areas of Keynes' thinking has been strangely overlooked - international relations, a subject that was always of central importance to him. The purpose of this book is to explore comprehensively, for the first time, the evolution of Keynes' thinking on international relations, and to show how this is linked to the changing of his opinions on economic matters, in a way which deepens our understanding of both.
This book investigates the evolution of John Maynard Keynes' thought regarding international relations and its inextricable link to his shifting economic theories. Donald John Markwell, a scholar of international relations and political economy, utilizes Keynes' extensive writings and correspondence to argue that international stability was a primary driver of his economic prescriptions. The text provides a framework for understanding how Keynes viewed the intersection of global trade, peace, and financial policy throughout his career.
