Notes
The first edition of the elder Keynes's treatise, his second book, written while lecturing at Cambridge. It 'systematically analysed the methodological debates dividing economic theorists and undermining the scientific credentials of their discipline' and 'attracted favourable reviews and created an international reputation for Keynes as an economist' (ODNB).
