The Price of Peace

I expected to read a biography of Keynes and a discussion of economics. Part of this book was that, but over half of it is a political tirade against free markets that uses every rhetorical fallacy there is. The biographical sections are sparse and don't really give an idea of what Keynes was like, for example the author skipped entirely his early life, and Keynes seems to exist purely to the extent that he perpetuates ideas the author agrees with. The last third of the big is completely divorced from reality and reads like an extremely left-wing blog tirade (even Clinton & Obama are considered way too “free market”) and it feels as if it were written in 2010, considering that it ends with the financial crisis and doesn't actually discuss the aftermath and rebuilding.

Definitely stay away from this if you are interested in unbiased looks at history.
