In so doing, Skidelsky shows that Keynes's mixture of pragmatism and realism is more pertinent and applicable than ever.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>In the debris of the financial crash of 2008, the principles of John Maynard Keynes--that economic storms are a normal part of the market system, that governments need to step in and use fiscal ammunition to prevent these storms from becoming depressions, and that societies that value the pursuit of money should reprioritize--are more pertinent and applicable than ever. In <em>Keynes: The Return of the Master</em>, Robert Skidelsky brilliantly synthesizes Keynes career and life, and offers nervous capitalists a positive answer to the question we now face: When unbridled capitalism falters, is there an alternative?</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b><i>Foreign Affairs</i></b><br> "The book offers clear and cogent critiques of modern macroeconomic thought, along with a brief but useful summary of what went wrong in 2007-9."<br><b><i>Financial Times</i>, October 18, 2010</b>"Skidelsky's succinct, lively, unashamed paean analyses Keynes's core values and offers a persuasive pitch for the contemporary relevance (and necessity) of his ideas."<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Robert Skidelsky</b> is the Emeritus Professor of Political Economy at the University of Warwick.
