Niall Kishtainy on John Maynard Keynes' Paradox of Thrift
Niall Kishtainy on John Maynard Keynes' Paradox of Thrift

On the anniversary of John Maynard Keynes' death, who passed away on this day in 1946, Niall Kishtainy describes his paradox of thrift. In A Little History of Economics, economic historian Niall Kishtainy organises short, chronological chapters that centre on big ideas and events. He recounts the contributions of key thinkers including Adam Smith, David Ricardo, Karl Marx, John Maynard Keynes, and others, while examining topics ranging from the invention of money and the rise of agrarianism to the Great Depression, entrepreneurship, environmental destruction, inequality, and behavioural economics. The result is a uniquely enjoyable volume that succeeds in illuminating the economic ideas and forces that shape our world.
