摘要

The two most persistent questions I have been asked about Keynes are: Do you like him? And what, if any thing, has he to offer the world today? In explaining how I approached the writing of the biography, and in describing what I learned as the work proceeded, I will try to answer both. My agent, Michael Sissons, reminded me the other day that my original contract with Macmillan dates from 1970. It was to write a single-volume, 150,000-word life of Keynes, to be delivered "not later than December 31st 1972". The advance, incidentally, was £5,000. Three volumes, a million words and 30 years later, what defence have I got for such contractual insouciance?
