Biographical Core

John Maynard Keynes was one of the most influential economists of the 20th century whose ideas fundamentally reshaped modern macroeconomics. A Cambridge economist, diplomat, and public intellectual, Keynes developed revolutionary theories on government intervention during economic crises and challenged classical economic orthodoxy. His work spanned from academic treatises to public commentary, where he wielded considerable influence over policy and opinion despite his preference for working behind the scenes rather than entering direct political contests.
