"Though Keynes was a great thinker, his interest in theory was not for its own sake but 'as a base' for designing policy": One page signed and hand-corrected manuscript entirely in the hand of Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman
FRIEDMAN, Milton.
Milton Friedman Manuscript on J.M. Keynes’ The General Theory.
One page signed and hand-corrected manuscript entirely in the hand of Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman discussing Keynes' The General Theory. Inscribed in the top right corner, "For Mark Gruber, Milton Friedman", the manuscript reads, "Inflation, not unemployment, continued to be the major economic problem after the war, as it was during the war. Keynes'...flexibility would have led him to turn his attention increasingly to the themes of Monetary Reform which were far more relevant to the post-war decades than those of The General Theory and remain so today...Though Keynes was a great thinker, his interest in theory was not for its own sake but 'as a base' for designing policy." Several lines crossed out and corrected in Friedman's hand. Double matted and framed with a photographic portrait of Friedman. The letter measures 7 inches by 11 inches. The entire piece measures 17.5 inches by 20.5 inches. An important piece linking two of the greatest rivaling economists of the twentieth century, with the former's critique of the latter's magnum opus.
