Abstract
Geoff Harcourt and Claudio Sardoni offer, as one might expect, a clear, balanced and informative account of both the intellectual background to, and the analytical substance of, Keynes’s pathbreaking General Theory. Harcourt and Sardoni (henceforth HS) divide their contribution into three main sections, dealing respectively with Keynes’s dual background in Marshallian economics and the philosophy of probability; his approach to modeling in The General Theory; and the “tactics” he employed in presenting his new macroeconomic arguments, with respect to which HS try to elucidate certain “mysteries. ”
