Keynes is often the target of liberal ideology of caricatured Diafoirus. This book highlights the complexity of his thought. Dandy sensualist and art lovers, his conception of economy mobilizes psychology, philosophy, logic, sociology and of course politics. It highlights the inherent difficulties in forecasting between essential uncertainty unknown probability, behaviors and self fulfilling prophecies, thus the "markets" are returned to their proper place. And he had so often right! This intellectual biography is a must read out of the cartoon where the non-economist thought, supposedly scientific, wants to keep! Read and reread in particular for all the pedants who build sophisticated mathematical models from dhypothèses a fragility and a formidable stupidity. A MATHEMATIZING stupidity, stupid mathematical results are obtained. A beautiful well documented intellectual biography, we'd like to see more often.
