This book, The Life of John Maynard Keynes by Roy Harrod was published as areprint of the first edition in 1952. Harrod was solicited by Keynes's younger brother, the scholar Geoffrey Keynes, to write the biography and thus had full access to Keynes' personal papers and his family.

The author, Sir Henry Roy Forbes Harrod was an English economist. He is best known for writing The Life of John Maynard Keynes  and for the development of the HarrodDomar model, which he and Evsey Domar developed independently. He is also known for his International Economics, a former standard textbook of international economics, the first edition of which contained some observations and ruminations (wanting in subsequent editions) that would foreshadow theories developed independently by later scholars (such as the BalassaSamuelson effect).
