Abstract
Nobel Laureate Sir John Hicks writes: "The historian ... may well come
to reckon the third quarter_as the age of Keynes. It is true that Keynes
died (in 1946)_; but it is nothing unusual for a great thinker and teacher
to make his greatest impact upon the world after he is dead. That surely
is what one must judge Keynes to have done. Hicks, Jurther adds: "For
Keynes was a man of extremely active mind, whose thinking never stayed
still but was always pushing on. Some of those who worked with him
could not stand the pace: 'you never knew what he would be saying next"'
(J. R. Hicks, Crisis in Keynesian Economics, Basil Blackwell, Oxford, 1975,
p. 1 and 5). Thus this was the man with whose thought we are to deal with.
