Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
The General Theory Of Employment, Interest And Money
John Maynard Keynes · 2022
80/100
👍 Worth It
Keynes's 1936 treatise genuinely reshaped how governments think about employment, money, and economic crises — the foundational concepts here are unavoidable for anyone serious about macroeconomics. It is notoriously dense and repetitive even by specialist admission, so go in with patience, but the intellectual payoff is real and earned.
