Sample Book Insights: #1 The debate between Keynes and Hayek, two of the greatest economists of their time, was sparked by a simple request for a book. Hayek asked Keynes for Edgeworth’s Mathematical Psychics, which Keynes had already used all of. #2 Keynes was not just a fellow of King’s College, Cambridge, but he was also famous worldwide because of his role as a British Treasury negotiator at the Paris Peace Conference, which brought the cataclysm of World War I to an end. #3 The war was the most destructive in history. It was fought over territory and world trade, and it marked the end of a chivalrous age and the dawn of the modern era. Keynes was a hero to many Central Europeans because of his criticism of British, French, and American leaders for levying crippling reparations on those in the remnants of the defeated alliance. #4 Keynes was not handsome, but he had a commanding physical presence. He was six foot six inches tall and had a slight stoop, which he had acquired as a lofty schoolboy. He was not slow to notice the magnetism of the brilliant conversationalist Hayek.
