Brian Ferguson has posted the texts of his lectures on Keynes and the General Theory to SSRN. They are clearly good and popular.
Five of the lectures on the various chapters rank 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 9th, and 10th in the top ten of their category in terms of numbers of downloads for the past two months.
Brian and I have known each other for nearly 30 years. We were colleagues briefly twice while I visited the University of Guelph, and we share many interests and views about many things.
This new work of his is in a different direction from much of his earlier work. It is a great contribution to the history of economic analysis and thought.
Here are the links to those lectures:
