FIRST EDITIONS. 'WE ARE ALL KEYNESIANS TODAY' (Milton Friedman, quoted in PMM). A Treatise on Money is Keynes's first attempt, following the 1929 crash, at explaining the vagaries of the trade cycle, and outlining new methods for controlling booms and busts. 'He subjected the definitions and theories of the classical school of economists to a penetrating scrutiny and found them seriously inadequate and inaccurate' (PMM 423). (3)
