When I opened the package I was surprised how nice the book looks like. :) Well, besides that it is nicely done. I have seen a couple version, but this one is really the nicest one. So if you are looking to impress somebody this is your book. I think I don't need to say much about the content sine we all know the story of this classic masterpiece. Five stars from me.
On page 13, for instance, the word "ina~tained" shows up. Keynes is pretty great (or at least, inarguably important), but this edition does not include footnotes, which were supplied by Keynes in the original text. If you're bothering to read The General Theory, and are capable of following it, you're probably also a reader of footnotes, so do not buy this copy.Of less concern, though telling, are the various typos that seem to be the result of (I'm not kidding) a bad OCR scan of an original. I'm assuming that meant "maintained," and I think it's implausible that tildes are defensible typos. C'mon Classic Books America--at least use spell-check.
The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money is one of the great works in economics, and is a must read for anyone who pretends to know anything about macroeconomics. Some of them are integral to understanding the book, so leaving them out is a major mistake. But this edition of the book is flawed. Keynes's footnotes are missing. Another reviewer has already complained that some of Keynes's equations were mangled. How could a publisher mangle a great work like this.
I bought the Management Laboratory Press edition a couple weeks ago and i must say it is great. It looks awsome like all books from MLP and this is the original version. Great one.
This is simply the best copy out there. It is awesome and Keynes original work.
