Essays in Persuasion is a collection of essays written by John Maynard Keynes, one of the most influential economists of the 20th century. The book was first published in 1932, during a period of economic turmoil and political uncertainty. The essays cover a wide range of topics, from the economic policies of the British government to the role of the gold standard in international trade. Keynes was a strong advocate for government intervention in the economy, and many of the essays in this book reflect this belief. He argues that the government should take an active role in managing the economy, through measures such as public works programs and deficit spending. He also criticizes the laissez-faire approach to economics, which he believes can lead to economic instability and inequality. In addition to economic issues, Essays in Persuasion also touches on political and social issues of the time. Keynes discusses the rise of fascism in Europe and the need for democratic governments to stand up to authoritarian regimes. He also addresses the issue of unemployment and the need for social welfare programs to support those who are struggling. Overall, Essays in Persuasion is a thought-provoking collection of essays that offers insights into the economic and political challenges of the early 20th century. Keynes' ideas continue to be influential today, and this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of economics and political thought.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
