The Cripps Version: The Life of Sir Stafford Cripps
(Like many 20th-century politicians of note, Cripps had th...)
Like many 20th-century politicians of note, Cripps had the dubious honour of an epigram from Churchill: "There, but for the grace of God, goes God". The wit of the remark is in its accurate summation of Cripps' talents, and the personal failings that were to deprive him of the highest office. His image is associated with austerity - he was a vegetarian, a tee-totaller, a devout Christian, and very easy to caricature. Beginning his professional life as a lawyer, Cripps went on to become ambassador of Russia in 1940. In 1942 he was sent as special envoy to India; the report he wrote was to prove a watershed on that country's road to independence. In Labour's post-war administration, Cripps was President of the Board of Trade, and from 1947-50 Chancellor of the Exchequer. This biography was written with comlete access to Cripps' private and public papers.

The Keynesian Revolution in the Making, 1924-1936 (Clarendon Paperbacks)
(The name of John Maynard Keynes is still the focus of pol...)
The name of John Maynard Keynes is still the focus of political and economic controversy, and in the course of it, "what Keynes really meant" has suffered much distortion. This book represents a quest for the historical Keynes. It follows the story of an argument which arose out of the performance of the British economy in the period of depression between the wars and provides an account of Keynes's thinking in the years that led up to the General Theory, making it comprehensible to specialists and non-specialists alike.

Liberals and Social Democrats
(This ambitious and wide-ranging book is about the relatio...)
This ambitious and wide-ranging book is about the relationship between liberalism and socialism in Britain in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It focuses largely on a group of intellectuals whose names are familiar but whose work has been neglected or misunderstood. Graham Wallas is the forgotten man of early Fabianism. L. T. Hobhouse has misleadingly been typecast as the last major exponent of a dying liberal tradition. J. A. Hobson's reputation has been obscured by repeated claims that he was a precursor either of the Leninist theory of imperialism or of the Keynesian revolution in economics. The historical work of J. L. and Barbara Hammond has suffered similar revenges from the whirligig of time. There are other liberals or socialists - notably Gilbert Murray, Bernard Shaw, Sidney and Beatrice Webb, R. H. Tawney and J. M. Keynes - who receive considerable attention. In the later chapters the economic approaches of Hobson and Keynes are disentangled and put in their proper historical setting.

Keynes: The Twentieth Century's Most Influential Economist
( The ideas of John Maynard Keynes inspired the New Deal ...)
The ideas of John Maynard Keynes inspired the New Deal and helped rebuild world economies after World War II —and were later dismissed as “depression economics.” Then came the great meltdown of 2008. Market forces that the world relied on suddenly failed to self-correct—and Keynes’s doctrine of corrective action in an imperfect world became more relevant than ever. Keynes was not a traditional economist: He was a polemicist, iconoclastic public intellectual, peer of the realm, and political operative, as well as an openly homosexual Bohemian who befriended Virginia Woolf and E. M. Forster. In Keynes, noted historian Peter Clarke provides a timely and masterful accounting of Keynes’s life and work, bringing his genius and skepticism alive for an era fraught with economic difficulties that he surely would have relished solving.
