Robert Skidelsky explores the political, social, and cultural context that influenced Keynes's economic theories, examining the positive and negative stereotypes that have arisen from their application. It also analyzes his ethical and practical philosophy, as well as his monetary thought, concluding with an analysis of the debates surrounding his figure and the Keynesian revolution.

Beyond academia, Skidelsky was influential in British public policy debates, serving as the founding chairman of the Social Market Foundation and writing extensively on economics, fiscal policy, and the political implications of technological change.
