HARROD (Roy Forbes). &
KEYNES (John Maynard). Editor, with an Introduction.
International Economics.
A highly influential text book in which Harrod sought to outline the first principles of international trade and finance, published as Volume VIII of the Cambridge Economic Handbooks series under the editorship of John Maynard Keynes.
‘Harrod had written a number of important and influential articles in the press advocating new reflationary policies in the early 1930s, and these together with his extension of Kahn’s employment multiplier to international trade in his International Economics prompted Joseph A. Schumpeter to write in 1946 in his obituary article on Keynes, ‘Mr Harrod may have been moving independently toward a goal not far from that of Keynes, though he unselfishly joined the latter’s standard after it had been raised’.’ (New Palgrave).
