Rediscovering Keynes in Modern Economics

This chapter examines the resurgence of interest in Keynesian economics following recent economic crises, particularly the 2008 financial meltdown. It highlights the author's personal exploration of Keynes' theories, contrasting them with their experiences in banking journalism, and emphasizes the moral and political implications of his economic vision. By positioning Keynes not just as an economist but as a social theorist, the discussion reveals the importance of addressing inequality and fostering cultural democratization to combat authoritarianism and societal upheaval.
