A treatise on probability

John Maynard Keynes

Why I looked at this book

Keynes is well known for his economic policies, but his interests ranged far and wide. The study of probability is important because it helps us understand our attitude to risk, and so may provide a pointer to how we should deal with an uncertain world, thus coming back to economics. Understanding Keynes attitude to uncertainty may help in judging the success or otherwise of the economic ideas he put forward.
