Abstract

Keynes’s ‘essay’ (saggio) … I use this word not having found a better one for what in English would be a tract or in French a pamphlet. But in reality ‘essay’ does not convey the concept of a piece penned for the occasion, of a weapon of political and economic contest, which is a feature of the short vehement writings in which practical battles were conducted or theoretical principles set out. The literature of economics, the great literature of economics is typically made up of essays. If someone were to compile a dictionary of economic discoveries, giving the sources in which they were first enounced, they would cite many more short essays than large books. The word libello was once used, very appropriately, for this kind of short and important writings; but this is no longer possible owing to the way it has been misused.
