This work is the last book by influential British economist, John Maynard Keynes. It introduced many of the concepts that remain central to the study of macroeconomics, such as the impact of government spending, central bank monetary policy and a general distrust of free-market economic decision making. It was viewed as an attack on the “classic economic orthodoxy” of the 1930s. (PMM 423)
