"The essays in this volume might be regarded as an introduction rather than as a supplement to my Accumulation of Capital. That book was found excessively difficult. The main fault, I think, lay in too terse an exposition of the main ideas, particularly in Chapter 8, and a failure to mark sufficiently sharply the departure from the confused but weighty corpus of traditional teaching that we are required to make when we adopt a Keynesian approach to long-period problems. I offer the present volume with apologies to readers whose heads ached over the earlier one." -- from the author's preface.
