Introduction:
John Maynard Keynes conferred a distinct glamor on the dismal science of economics. He was a Cambridge don, key member of the Bloomsbury set, best – selling author, husband of a world – famous ballerina, father of modern macroeconomics, valued government adviser, ennobled member of the House of Lords, and midwife to the IMF and the World Bank. His bracing response to the doldrums of the Great Depression — “ The patient needs exercise, not rest ” — heralded the Keynesian era of managed capitalism and pump – primed Western economies.
Renowned almost as much for the variability of his opinions as for the vigor, style, and intelligence with which they were advanced, Keynes delighted in assaulting conventional wisdom and deployed pungent prose as his weapon of choice. Despite affecting an aristocratic disdain for the profession of money making, Keynes was also an incredibly successful stock market player. At the time of his death, his net worth — largely accrued through his investment activities — amounted to the present – day equivalent of $30 million. The Cambridge college fund administered by Keynes recorded a twelve – fold increase in its value while under his stewardship, a period during which the broader market averages failed even to double.
