Abstract
Since Don Patinkin’s article on Keynes appeared in the first edition of The New Palgrave, two major biographies have increased our understanding of Keynes’s life. There has developed a large literature on the relation between his work on probability and his involvement in the Bloomsbury group, and the relation to both of these to his economics. This article reviews and assesses that literature along with more recent work on his economics.
This chapter was originally published in The New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics, 2nd edition, 2008. Edited by Steven N. Durlauf and Lawrence E. Blume
