 TAP: Vol 13, Iss. 8. A General Theory of Keynes. Richard Parker.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Keynes lived for a decade after The General Theory 's appearance, and those years, 1937 to 1946, are the subject of Skidelsky's just-published final volume.
In Skidelsky's narrative, Keynes was a prodigal son who came home to the British establishment and whose promotion of "the Middle Way" is today reflected in neoconservative (and neoliberal) policy on both sides of the Atlantic.
Were Keynes today to pay an unexpected visit to review the economic policies of Bill Clinton or Tony Blair, he would be hard-pressed to see anything Keynesian in their essences.

 Re: KEYNES, Phillip, Abt. 1367, Devonshire, England
The earliest Wiltshire Keynes I know is William de Kaynes, who in 1256 was granted the right to hunt with his dogs `the fox, the badger and the cat in the forests of Northampton, Oxford, Wiltshire and Dorset.' His wife was Lettice (also called Margary) the daughter of Adam de Periton.
Her son was John de Keynes (b.c.1341), who was dead by 1366 when his widow Joan held the manor of Tarente Keynes and Combe Keynes, Dorset, her son (his name I do not know) being underage.
John Keynes the younger also had a brother Richard Keynes, who claimed part of the inheritance, but in 1428 it was a Nicholas Kaynes (another brother?) who held Winkleigh and Werynston, Devon.

In Fossils, Finches and Fuegians, Richard Keynes has produced a well-researched and highly readable account of the voyage aboard HMS Beagle of his illustrious great-grandfather, Charles Darwin.
Keynes isn't the first of the great man's descendents to cash in on the Darwin Industry, and I'm sure he won't be the last, but he has done us Darwin addicts a great service in drawing together from various sources a modern version of Darwin's classic, The Voyage of the Beagle.
We also forget that, in setting out on what was to be a five-year circumnavigation of the globe, Darwin really was embarking on voyage of adventure and discovery: there were still great uncharted areas of white on the maps, and many of the natives were still seen as savages.

 Fossils by Richard Keynes, 0007101902, Lowest Book Price Finder
Keynes (great-grandson of Charles Darwin) re-plays the voyage of the Beagle, with some interesting back-up material.
Keynes provides a modern perspective on the scientific method of the young (23) Darwin, especially in his noting exactly which strata fossils were found, and his meticulously accurate un-biased descriptions of specimens (not a predominant trait in the scientific community at that time!).
Keynes' writing style is not as fluid or easy on the eye as some other writers in the popular science arena, and some of the attached letters are hard going.

Keynes' assault on saving and thrift is one consequence of this shift in Weltanschauung.
In his book, Public Principles of Public Debt (Homewood, Ill.: Richard D. Irwin, 1958), Buchanan specifically refuted the three main elements of the Keynesian theory, and he argued that, in its essentials, the pre-Keynesian classical theory of public debt was correct.
Local finance, in contrast to national finance, possesses transferability of encumbrances, at least to the extent that revenues are raised through property taxation and voters are owners of property in the locality.

 Fossils, Finches And Fuegians: Charles Darwin's Adventures And Discoveries On 'The Beagle', 1832-36
Keynes does not forget the other aspects of the expedition: the importance of the relationship between Darwin and Fitzroy, and the rest of the ship’s company; the survey itself — Fitzroy’s primary duty.
Nor does Keynes pretend that Darwin immediately tumbled to his theory as soon as he saw a couple of dinosaur parts in a cliff at Punta Alta. His intimate knowledge of Darwin’s notes (he edited them) enables him to show the slow development of his thoughts from observations and questions to theories.
He scotches the myth that Fitzroy was a Christian who interpreted the Bible literally, while Darwin was an atheist, making the point that Fitzroy only converted to this view after his marriage on their return, while Darwin did not even privately question the accepted view of the Creation until after the voyage.

Kahn, nonetheless, bore his mentor no grudge and instead rose to be one of the leading figures of the Cambridge Keynesians.

Keynes tracks Darwin's storied 1831-36 voyage of science and surveying on the Bea gle, quoting unexpurgated tracts not only from Darwin's letters and journals but also from those of the Beagle 's captain, the emotionally volatile Robert FitzRoy.
Keynes allows their relationship to develop in their own words, which he links to incidents on sea and land, lingering to digress on biological and geological observations the ever-curious Darwin made on his forays inland.
