A useful reading about Keynes and Keynesian

This is a very useful article to read: Andrew Leonard "Don't call it a comeback", 26/09/2009, http://www.businessspectator.com.au/bs.nsf/Article/Salon-pd20090924-W76RH?OpenDocument&src=sph See also: Salon.com

It is about the resurgent Keynesian in the wake of the crisis and the great recession. It mentioned a book, as the following paragraph says:

Few people are better situated to comment or explain Keynes' current fashionableness than Lord Robert Skidelsky, author of the newly published Keynes: The Return of the Master – which comes complete with the possibly overdone sub-headline: "Why, Sixty Years After His Death, John Maynard Keynes is the Most Important Economic Thinker for America".

It touches on the other side of Keynes that has rarely been seen by many, as the article's concluding paragraph says:

If Keynes were alive today, these would be questions he would be asking. And after reading Keynes: The Return of the Master, one can only conclude that we would be well-served to have him out and about, confounding the status quo with his impertinence.
