A polemical sequel, of sorts, to the author's "Keynes and after", looking at the economic policies of the last ten years in a Keynesian light and suggesting that the current recession bears all the hallmarks of the slump of the 1930's. "Keynes in the 1990's" is a form of sequel, but is very much about the application of Keynesian policies now, whereas the "Keynes and after" is entirely a historical book.
