About — John Maynard Keynes

John Maynard Keynes (1883–1946) was a British economist whose ideas reshaped macroeconomic theory and policy. He argued that aggregate demand drives employment, advocating active government intervention during downturns, a principle that underpinned the post‑World‑II welfare state. His seminal work, The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money (1936), introduced concepts such as fiscal stimulus.
