There are many misapprehensions about Keynes, leading to viewing him as responsible for the sorry state of public finances in many Western nations. This book was helpful to me for separating the achievement of the man from the abuse of his theories.

The first half provides a good layman's summary of Keynes' theories and is still worth a read for the curious and time constrained. The second is a somewhat dated application of these theories to the mid 1960s.
