"In Universal Man, noted biographer and historian Richard Davenport-Hines revives our understanding of John Maynard Keynes (1883-1946), the twentieth century's most charismatic and revolutionary economist. Keynes helped FDR launch the New Deal, saved Britain from financial crisis twice over the course of two World Wars, and instructed Western nations on how to protect themselves from revolutionary unrest, economic instability, high unemployment, and social dissolution. Isaiah Berlin called Keynes 'the cleverest man I ever knew'--both 'superior and intellectually awe-inspiring.' Eric Hobsbawm, the twentieth century's preeminent historian, considered him as influential as Lenin, Stalin, Roosevelt, Hitler, Churchill, Gandhi, and Mao. Keynes was nothing less than the Adam Smith of his time: his General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money, published in 1936, became the most important economics book of the twentieth century, as important as Smith's Wealth of Nations in inaugurating an economic era. Keynes's brilliant ideas made possible 35 years of prosperity after the Second World War, the most sustained period of rapid expansion in history. And now, and in the wake of the 2008 global economic collapse, he is once again shaping our world. Every day, we are likely to hear about 'Keynesian economics' or the 'Keynesian Revolution,' terms that testify to his continuing influence on both economic theory and government policies. Indeed, with the thorough discrediting of his opponents--Friedrich Hayek, Milton Friedman, Alan Greenspan, and other supporters of the notion that capitalism is self-regulating, and needs no government intervention--nations across the world are turning to Keynes's signature innovations: above all that governments must involve themselves in their economies to stave off financial collapse. Previous biographies have explored Keynes economic thought at great length and often in the jargon of the discipline. Universal Man is the first accessible biography of Keynes, and reveals Keynes as much more than an economist. Like many Englishmen of his class and era, Keynes compartmentalized his life. Accordingly, Davenport-Hines views Keynes through multiple windows, as a youthful prodigy, a powerful government official, an influential public man, a bisexual living in the shadow of Oscar Wilde's persecution, a devotee of the arts, and an international statesman of great renown. Delving into Keynes's experiences and thought, Davenport-Hines shows us a man who was equally at ease socialising with the Bloomsbury Group as he was persuading heads of state to adopt his policies. Exploring the desires and experiences that compelled Keynes to innovate, Davenport-Hines is the first to argue that Keynesian economics has an aesthetic basis. In this book we come to understand not just the most enduringly influential economist of the modern era, but one of the most gifted and vital men of our times: a disciplined logician with a capacity for glee who persuaded people, seduced them, subverted old ideas, and installed new ones; a man whose high brilliance did not give people vertigo, but clarified and lengthened their perspectives. Engaging, learned, and sparkling with wit and insight, Universal Man is the perfect match for its subject. / Richard Davenport-Hines is the award-winning author of Dudley Docker and acclaimed biographies of W. H. Auden and Marcel Proust. He is an adviser to the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society and the Royal Society of Literature, and a regular reviewer for the Sunday Telegraph, the Sunday Times and the Times Literary Supplement." - Publisher.. 1st.

Like all really good comedians, he can make you laugh until your eyes water, and then he can turn around and break your heart. In 'Funny You Should Mention It...' he does both - sometimes on the same page.", Hawk Publishing Group, 2006, 2.5, Friedman Fairfax Publications, 1999. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Soft cover.

Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. When scholars write the history of the world twenty years from now, and they come to the chapter "Y2K to March 2004," what will they say was the most crucial development? The attacks on the World Trade Center on 9/11 and the Iraq war? Or the convergence of technology and events that allowed India, China, and so many other countries to become part of the global supply chain for services and manufacturing, creating an explosion of wealth in the middle classes of the world's two biggest nations, giving them a huge new stake in the success of globalization? And with this "flattening" of the globe, which requires us to run faster in order to stay in place, has the world gotten too small and too fast for human beings and their political systems to adjust in a stable manner? In this brilliant new book, the award-winning "New York Times" columnist Thomas Friedman demystifies the brave new world for readers, allowing them to make sense of the often bewildering global scene unfolding before their eyes. With his inimitable ability to translate complex foreign policy and economic issues, Friedman explains how the flattening of the world happened at the dawn of the twenty-first century; what it means to countries, companies, communities, and individuals; and how governments and societies can, and must, adapt. "The World Is Flat" is the timely and essential update on globalization, its successes and discontents, powerfully illuminated by one of our most respected journalists.

Box K 6 From Library Journal\nIn her fourth self-help book with a catchy title ( A Hero Is More Than Just a Sandwich , LJ 11/1/86, is this book's immediate predecessor), clinical psychologist and TV personality Friedman reiterates her message that women need to examine and direct their own lives. Here she tries to outline a way to make choices that will result in a satisfying life, whether it includes a man, a career, motherhood, or some combination of these that fulfills the individual's personal goals. Friedman loves lists--the four Rs of positive change, the nine facts of life, the seven goals for the grown-up woman--and she expounds on them with the enthusiasm of a cheerleader. There's nothing new here, but the advice is chatty and the author is popular, so expect some demand.\n\n- Ilse Heidmann Ali, Motlow State Community Coll., Tullahoma, Tenn.\n\nCopyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc.\nA psychotherapist explains how women can distinguish internal needs from external expectations, and offers advice on recognizing hidden traps that impede achievement\n A psychotherapist explains how women can distinguish internal needs from external expectations and offers advice on recognizing hidden traps that impede achievement.\nEditorial Reviews\n\nFrom Publishers Weekly\nNew York City psychologist Friedman, seen daily on cable TV, is a columnist for the Detroit Free Press and author of Smart Cookies Don't Crumble. With freelance writer Kettelhack, she addresses a reader assumed to be, like her patients, a woman bewildered by shifts in self-perception, offering advice for "increasing your own sense of personal power over your life." Citing the "feminine mistake," Friedman cautions against heeding the siren call to total liberation. With equal force she challenges advocates of the stereotype of the housebound wife and mother. Specific and practical steps in this guide encourage the reader to know herself and to discard others' expectations and live her own life.\n\nCopyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc.\n \n\n\n--\n\n , 0, Jossey-Bass/San Francisco. 1st Edition.
