520 _aThis little book is designed as a simplification of the leading ideas of the Keynesian theory of employment for the student who is having difficulty with the General Theory. As such, it is a masterpiece of terse and vivid exposition. Starting with the thesis that unemployment can exist because "the decisions of entrepreneurs as to how much capital it is worth their while to acquire fall short of the decisions of individuals to save," the first five chapters elaborate in some detail the intricacies of the relations of investment and saving. The remainder of the book, except for brief digressions on certain "supposed remedies for unemployment," on foreign trade, and on "controversy in economics," is devoted to the monetary aspects of the Keynesian doctrines.
