J.M.K.' Printed on laid paper. One of Keynes' most influential essays, published by Virginia and Leonard Woolf at the Hogarth Press, who were close friends of Keynes and fellow members of the Bloomsbury Group. The essay reviews the development of laissez-faire capitalism from the eighteenth century onwards and critiques the doctrine as a whole, charting a middle course between recommending total freedom of the marketplace and full state intervention. ~Robust packaging.
