“The most influential book on economic and social policy so far”

—The New York Times

“... it reframed the central problem at the heart of modern economics ...”

—The Washington Post

John Maynard Keynes (1883–1946) was one of the most influential economists of the 20th century, renowned for his groundbreaking contributions to economic theory and policy. Born in Cambridge, England, Keynes received his education at Eton College and later at King’s College, Cambridge, where he distinguished himself as a scholar in mathematics and economics. His work, The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money (1936), revolutionised economic thought during the Great Depression. Challenging classical economic doctrines, Keynes argued for active government intervention to manage economic fluctuations and stabilise economies. His theory of aggregate demand and the role of fiscal policy in stimulating economic activity laid the foundation for modern macroeconomics and greatly influenced public policies worldwide. Keynes was also a prominent public figure beyond his academic pursuits. He served as an advisor to the British government and played a crucial role in shaping post-World War II economic policies through his participation in the Bretton Woods Conference. Keynes’s pragmatic approach to economics, characterised by a blend of theory and policy activism, continues to shape debates on economic policy, monetary theory and international finance. A prolific writer and essayist, Keynes addressed a wide range of additional topics in his works as well, such as philosophy and ethics. His wit, intellect and unwavering commitment to social welfare have left an indelible mark on both economic theory and public discourse.

Some of Keynes’ noteworthy works published posthumously:
  • Indian Currency and Finance (1913)
  • The Economic Consequences of the Peace (1919)
  • A Treatise on Probability (1921)
  • A Treatise on Money (1930)
  • Essays in Persuasion (1931)
  • The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money (1936)
  • How to Pay for the War: A Radical Plan for the Chancellor of the Exchequer (1940)
