Summary: "Keynes wrote in succession A Treatise on Money and The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money. The latter was written in the years immediately following the publication in 1930 of the former, because Keynes thought, when he had written the Treatise, that he 'could do it better and much shorter if [he] were to start over again'. The two books, then, are the same book. Yet they are ostensibly different in many, seemingly important respects. How do they come to have unity, in some sense, in theme and purpose, and yet use such different apparatus? And why (this is even more interesting for the theoretician) does money appear in the title of both books?" -- From the preface.
