The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money
Author: John Maynard Keynes
John Maynard Keynes is a renowned and respected economist who wrote extensively on economic development during the early 20th century. This was a very interesting time in the world as the post-industrialized society was busy globalizing and expanding. Economics theories had been developing since Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations and economic theory during Keyne's era was growing complicated with the rise of communist economic theory.
Although I find Keynes book interesting and certainly influential, one of the things that caught my eye the most was one of his comments in the preface of the book:
The difficulty lies not so much in developing
new ideas as in escaping from old ones...
I find this statement to be extremely relevant with all types of innovation and changes; from personal development to economic policy.
