John Maynard Keynes
1883 CE–1946 CE · Economist · Cambridge
John Maynard Keynes was a British economist whose work reshaped macroeconomic theory and public policy. Educated at Eton and King's College, Cambridge, he served in the India Office and the Treasury, and attended the 1919 Paris Peace Conference, resigning to write "The Economic Consequences of the Peace." His 1936 book "The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money" argued that aggregate demand governs output and employment and that governments could counter downturns through fiscal intervention. He also wrote "A Treatise on Probability." A central figure in the 1944 Bretton Woods negotiations, he was a patron of the arts and a member of the Bloomsbury group.
