This book considers the cultural legacy of the Keynesian Revolution in economics. It assesses
the impact of Keynes and Keynesian thinking upon economics and policy as well as the response
of the Chicago and Austrian schools and the legacy of all three in shaping economic life. The
book is a call to restore economics to its roots in moral and cultural knowledge reminding us
that human beings are more than consumers. The Keynesian Revolution taught us that we should be
happy if we are prosperous but instead we feel hollow and morally anxious - our economy feels
empty. Drawing on paradigms from earlier historical periods while affirming modern market
systems this book encourages a return to a view of human beings as persons with the right and
responsibility to discover and do the things in life that are intrinsically good and
enduring. Because in the long run the legacy of our choices will continue long after we're all
dead.
