{"product_id":"9781608191710","title":"Keynes: The Rise, Fall, and Return of the 20th Century's Most Influential Economist","description":"\u003cbr\u003eThe ideas of John Maynard Keynes inspired the New Deal and helped rebuild world economies after World War II -and were later dismissed as \"depression economics.\" Then came the great meltdown of 2008. Market forces that the world relied on suddenly failed to self-correct-and Keynes's doctrine of corrective action in an imperfect world became more relevant than ever. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKeynes was not a traditional economist: He was a polemicist, iconoclastic public intellectual, peer of the realm, and political operative, as well as an openly homosexual Bohemian who befriended Virginia Woolf and E. M. Forster. In \u003ci\u003eKeynes\u003c\/i\u003e, noted historian Peter Clarke provides a timely and masterful accounting of Keynes's life and work, bringing his genius and skepticism alive for an era fraught with economic difficulties that he surely would have relished solving.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47133991076080,"sku":"9781608191710","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781608191710_p0.jpg?v=1763835783","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781608191710","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
