Psychopaths are little understood outside of the criminal image. However, as the recent global financial crisis highlighted, the behavior of a small group of managers can potentially bring down the entire western system of business. This book investigates who they are, why they do what they do and what the consequences of their presence are.

Was Keynes trying to save capitalism or create "Liberal Socialism"? Jim Crotty's unique approach to this long-standing question makes his work an outstanding contribution to heterodox macro policy. Tracing Keynes's policy positions from World War I to Keynes's death in 1946, Jim combines rich historical detail with Keynes's insistence that the realism of assumptions affects the truth content of hypotheses. Jim's book can serve as a guide to policy positions to sustain full employment through the socialization of investment under conditions of class struggle. Contrary to the position that Keynes denied class conflict, there is no fundamental contradiction between Marx's assumption of class conflict and Keynes's policy positions in support of full employment through the socialization of investment.
