The Seven Lives of John Maynard Keynes

Richard Davenport-Hines has written a eulogy on what he aptly calls The Seven Lives of John Maynard Keynes. It’s not that Keynes lived these lives consecutively, but pretty well simultaneously. In order to make his case clearer, Davenport-Hines considers the seven lives separately, and thanks to the excellence of his prose, the biography comes to life seven different times.
