Can anybody provide me a link to Keynes's 1926 essay "The End of
Laissez-Faire"? I want to provide it to students. The only direct
link I have found is from Panarchy.org and it comes with two
introductory passages, one of which says:
"This essay is worth reading for especially two reasons. First of
all, for the wealth of historical information about the origin of the
laissez-faire expression and attitudes. Secondly, as a political text
full of fallacious reasoning and misleading images. Unfortunately, no
serious thinker intervened to show the emptiness of Keynes'
positions; and so Keynesism became the new economic doctrine and
protectionism the political recipe, in fashion once again, leading to
all sorts of economic and political disasters."
I would like the students to read the essay without prejudgment. Thank you.
