A British economist, one of the most influential economists of the 20th century whose ideas profoundly influenced the economic policies of most non-Communist governments after World War II (1939-1945), was born on June 5, 1883, in Cambridge, England. His father, John Neville Keynes, was a logician and economist and for 15 years chief administrator (registrar) at the University of Cambridge. His mother, Florence Ada, was one of an early generation of women students at Cambridge, a pioneer in social welfare, mayor of Cambridge, and a writer. The younger Keynes, who was called Maynard, won a scholarship to Eton College, where he distinguished himself academically and made many friends among the more intellectual members of the British upper classes. Keynes entered King's College, Cambridge, also on a scholarship, and took his degree in mathematics in 1905. At the university he became a close friend of members of an intellectual group led by writer Lytton Strachey. He began his career in the India Office of the British government. Keynes spent his spare time, and even some office time, working on the theory of probability for submission as a dissertation for a King's College fellowship. He won the fellowship in 1908. The dissertation was afterwards enlarged and published in 1921 as A Treatise on Probability. His aim was to give a more modern and systematic substructure to the theory of probability, which would be to some extent analogous with the work done for deduction and mathematics by Bertrand Russell and Alfred North Whitehead in Principia Mathematica. Keynes published a devastating attack on the Versailles treaty settlements: The Economic Consequences of the Peace, this book contained vivid and brilliant character sketches and was quickly recognized as a masterpiece of polemical writing and became one of the best-selling books ever composed on a topic in economics. Keynes achieved worldwide fame through it.
He died on April 21, 1946, in Tilton.
