About the Author
John Maynard Keynes (1883-1946) was a pioneering British economist whose revolutionary ideas reshaped modern macroeconomics and influenced global policy during times of crisis. Educated at Eton and Cambridge, he served in the British Treasury during World War I and later became a key advisor to governments and international organizations. Keynes challenged classical economic doctrines, advocating for active government intervention to manage economic cycles, combat unemployment, and stabilize currencies. His seminal works, including The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money and The Economic Consequences of the Peace, critiqued the Treaty of Versailles and laid the groundwork for Keynesian economics, which dominated post-World War II policy until the late 20th century. A polymath, Keynes also contributed to philosophy, arts patronage, and probability theory, leaving an enduring legacy on economic thought and practice.
