Contra Keynes and Cambridge: Essays, Correspondence (Collected Works of F. A. Hayek)

Caldwell, Bruce (ed.). Contra Keynes and Cambridge: Essays, Correspondence (Collected Works of F. A. Hayek). Indianapolis, Indiana: Liberty Fund, 2009.

From Liberty Fund:

Contra Keynes and Cambridge is composed of three parts: Part I consists of two essays, the first being a recollection by Hayek of his time at the London School of Economics in the 1930s, followed by his contribution to an early debate about the paradox of saving; Part II reprints the full debates between Hayek and Keynes in Economica in the early 1930s, and Hayek’s exchanges with Sraffa that followed; Part III includes some of Hayek’s reminiscences on Keynes. F. A. Hayek challenged one of the world’s leading economists, John Maynard Keynes, and his economic theories, which sparked a spirited debate that has influenced economic policy in democratic countries for decades.
