First edition, first impression, of these 16 essays and lectures, originally published in various books and periodical over the 1930s. Although Dennis Robertson (1890-1963) had begun as a close collaborator with Keynes, he developed a dynamic theory of savings and interest which led him to criticise Keynes's theories in the General Theory (1936). The first and longest essay in this collection develops a further critique of Keynes's theories of interest. Provenance: William Piercy (1886-1966), with his bookplate on the front pastedown.

London, P. S. King & Staples Limited. A collection gathering sixteen of Robertson's essays, lectures, and reviews, as published in various books and periodicals overs the 1930s, including the controversial 'Mr Keynes and the Rate of Interest' in which Robertson attacked Keynes's 'liquidity-preference' theory of the rate of interest, in response to which Keynes introduced his famous 'finance motive'. Keynes and Roberston's theoretical differences contributed to a split between the pair whose close collaboration during the 1920s had resulted in several major works, although none were published under joint authorship. These included Keynes's Tract on Monetary Reform (1923) and the Treatise on Money (1930), as well as Robertson's Banking Policy and the Price Level (1926). In 1939, Robertson left Cambridge for a brief stint at the London School of Economics, before reconciling with Keynes whilst working together on the Bretton Woods Agreement, resulting in Robertson's return to Cambridge in 1944, succeeding A.C. Pigou as Professor of Economics. With the publisher's prospectus card, advertisement for F.J. Docker's book on Foreign Exchange, and original owners receipt for the book loosely inserted.
