Excellent- More about Keynes and Marx
John Maynard Keynes was an elitist and pro-capitalist economist, but his analysis provides a concreteness missing from Marx and engages with critical issues of the modern world that Marx could not have foreseen. This book argues that a critical Marxist engagement can simultaneously increase the power of Keynes' insight and enrich Marxism by offering a detailed overview of his critique of mainstream economics and General Theory and developing a Marxist appropriation of Keynes' insights.

Keynes, an economist with elitist and pro-capitalist tendencies, warrants caution from the left. However, his analytical framework offers a tangible depth that surpasses Marx's, engaging with pressing concerns of the contemporary world that Marx could not have foreseen. This book posits that a critical engagement with Marxism can simultaneously amplify the potency of Keynes' insights and enrich Marxism itself.
In his exploration of Keynes' work, Dunn contextualizes it within the extraordinary times in which he lived, his philosophical beliefs, and his political ideologies. By providing a comprehensive overview of Keynes' critique of mainstream economics and his influential General Theory, Dunn establishes that Keynes offers an enduringly valuable critique of orthodoxy. Furthermore, he develops a Marxist appropriation of Keynes' insights, contributing to the evolution of economic thought.
The book delves into the prospects of reembracing Keynes, critically examining the practices commonly referred to as 'Keynesianism' and assessing the boundaries of the theoretical traditions that claim ownership of his legacy. Through this critical examination, the book aims to shed light on the potential for a renewed and invigorated engagement with Keynes' ideas, fostering a deeper understanding of economic dynamics and their implications for society.
