"...there has existed hitherto no work in any language which deals 
systematically with the theory and facts of representative money as it 
exists in the modern world."  Keynes (1883-1946) wrote this monumental 
and immensely important work after many years of involvment with both 
academic and governmental elites who were either trying to make sense 
out of, or manipulate for advantage, the tumultuous economic 
consequences of the First World War. It preceded the equally influential 
/General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money/ (1936). Volume I is 
entitled The Pure Theory of Money; and volume II is entitled The Applied 
Theory of Money.

American edition - printed from the British plates. Books come with
