This work provides a concise grounding in the origins, development, and continuing significance of Keynesian economics. The author first presents the contributions of economists working before Keynes who would have tremendous influence on him and his work, such as Walras, Pigou, Marshall, Straffa, and Fisher. Ventelou then introduces and analyzes Keynes's own major works, including the "Treatise on money, Treatise on Probability, and the "General Theory. He concludes by looking at the many differing interpretations of the influence of the Keynesian tradition on economics as a discipline, and the schools of thought that have spawned these often divergent opinions. Ventelou also offers a detailed explanation of why these ongoing debates among economists are likely to continue.
