Summary: This volume contains the proceedings of the sixth and centennial Keynes seminar, held by Keynes College at the University of Kent in 1983. The purpose of the seminar is to examine, for the student and the layman, as much as for the professional economist, the various aspects of Keynes's life and work. The theme of the sixth seminar was the direct and indirect influence of some of Keynes's contemporaries on him as he moved from the Treatise to the writing of the General Theory. Three papers were presented at the seminar. A fourth paper (by Professor Susan Howson) was tabled and is published here. The first paper (by the editor and Mr T. J. O'Shaughnessy) discusses the inter- relationship between Keynes and three of his closest friends in the economics profession-Richard Kahn, Joan Robinson and Piero Sraffa-as Keynes grappled with the issues that were to be analysed in the General Theory. An attempt is made to relate this historical record to some modern interpretations and evaluations of Keynes. The highlight of the first session was the recollections and evaluation of the Cam- bridge 'Circus' by Lord Kahn and Sir Austin Robinson.

Three papers were presented at the seminar. A fourth paper (by Professor Susan Howson) was tabled and is published
