This copy of “Two Memoirs” by John Maynard Keynes offers a unique glimpse into the mind of one of the most influential economists and public intellectuals of the 20th century. Published in 1949, it contains two autobiographical works: “Dr. Melchior: A Defeated Enemy” and “My Early Beliefs.” The former is a portrait of a German philosopher who influenced Keynes’s thinking, while the latter is a candid reflection on his early life and the evolution of his economic and political views. Despite its well-worn condition, this volume remains a valuable artifact for collectors and scholars alike, providing insight into Keynes’s personal life, intellectual development, and the tumultuous times in which he lived. As a key figure in the British delegation at the Versailles Peace Conference and a vocal critic of the harsh terms imposed on Germany, Keynes’s perspectives on World War I and its aftermath hold particular historical significance. This edition offers a rare opportunity to explore the private musings of a towering figure whose ideas continue to shape economic discourse and policy to this day.
