Link to bookseller	Important, relevant chapters in a book covering the creation of Bretton Woods	"'Nobody who wants to understand one of the most extraordinary Englishmen of his time can do without this biography' E.J. Hobsbawm 'Robert Skidelsky has devoted 20 years to his life of John Maynard Keynes and, with this, the third volume of a biography of Proustian proportions, he has demonstrated that the whole enterprise was worth every ounce of the struggle.' William Keegan, Observer 'This is a throughly fair-minded book, diligently researched and elegantly written. It crowns the edifice of one of the outstanding biographical enterprises of our time... It hides little or nothing, enabling us to understand far more about one of the giants of the 20th century.' Anthony Howard, Management Today. This is the third and final volume of this biography. Dealing with the period from 1937, when Keynes had become the most famous economist and one of the most famous figures in Britain, to his death in 1946, this volume focuses on Keynes contribution to the financing of Britain's war effort, the building of the post-war economic order, and his role in the "other" war - Britain's struggle to preserve its independence within the Atlantic Alliance.

Paul Davidson John Maynard Keynes Palgrave Macmillan 2007, 2009 (Great Thinkers in Economics Series), Chapter 10, Reforming the World's Money. Link to bookseller	Relevant chapter.	Review:'Davidson convincingly shows how Keynes's radical assault on classical economic theory was undermined by mainstream interpreters anxious to make his doctrines politically acceptable. Keynes's own 'general theory' is compellingly explained; its obfuscators attacked with Davidson's familiar panache.' - Lord Skidelsky, author of John Maynard Keynes 1883-1946: Economist, Philosopher, Statesman 'This could be the best one-volume treatment of Keynes's economics since Keynes himself. Clear, logical and faithful, Paul Davidson introduces the real Keynes to a new generation. And do we ever need him.' - James K. Galbraith, The University of Texas at Austin and Levy Economic Institute Synopsis: This book examines the life of John Maynard Keynes, explores his influential writings and theories, and assesses his legacy. Davidson looks at the life of Keynes leading up to the writing of his seminal General Theory, and traces the roots of this work in Keynes' early influences, as well as examining the General Theory in detail, and exploring how it differs from classical theory. The impact of Keynes's work on the economy postwar and up to the present day is also assessed.
