Laissez-Faire And Communism

Laissez-Faire and Communism is a book written by John Maynard Keynes, one of the most influential economists of the 20th century. The book is a collection of essays that were written between 1920 and 1922, and it explores the two economic systems that were dominant at the time: laissez-faire capitalism and communism.In the book, Keynes argues that both laissez-faire capitalism and communism are flawed systems that fail to provide for the needs of society. He argues that laissez-faire capitalism leads to economic instability and inequality, while communism leads to inefficiency and a lack of innovation.Keynes suggests that a mixed economy, which combines elements of both capitalism and socialism, is the best way to ensure economic stability and prosperity for all. He argues that the government should play a more active role in regulating the economy and providing social services, while also allowing for private enterprise and competition.Overall, Laissez-Faire and Communism is a thought-provoking book that offers insights into the economic debates of the early 20th century and continues to be relevant today. It is a must-read for anyone interested in economics, politics, or social policy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
