Abstract

In responding to Philip Arestis’s request for a contribution to the volume of essays in honour of Paul Davidson, a good friend of G.C.H. of well over 30 years’ standing, and of C.S. for 15 years or more, we thought that a ‘compare and contrast’ essay on interpretations of The General Theory would be a peculiarly suitable and appropriate subject. For it would enable us both to outline Paul’s own deep and astute interpretation and to compare it with the interpretations in two recent biographies of Keynes — Donald Moggridge’s magisterial economist’s life (1992) and Volume II of Robert Skidelsky’s superb biography (1992), which is centred on the creation, content and criticism of The General Theory. Moreover, his original and compelling interpretation has earned the reproach of Don Patinkin because of its post Keynesian characteristics (see Skidelsky, 1992: xi), so it seemed a good idea also to compare his arguments and approaches with those of one of America’s leading post Keynesian economists.1
