The Philosophy and Economics of John Maynard Keynes
ABSTRACT
This colloquium provided an opportunity for conferees to closely analyze the philosophic and economic thought of John Maynard Keynes. Reading Keynes’s economics within the framework of his broader philosophic thought shed additional light upon how and why he diverges from classical liberal principles; it also enabled conferees to consider Keynes’s relationship to Hayek.
