A Treatise on Probability and “My Early Beliefs”

In September 1938, Keynes read “My Early Beliefs” (Keynes 1939a) at the Memoir Club. This memoir, made public with Keynes’s “Will”, went on to draw attention from various angles. The reasons for this were, among others; (i) the only memoir which showed the path of thought followed by the economist who brought about the “Keynesian Revolution”; (ii) the ethical path pursued by a central member of the Bloomsbury Group; (iii) the path taken by an important member of the philosophical milieu in Cambridge.
