  CAMBRIDGE KEYNESIANS
Strictly, the "Cambridge Keynesians" is a loose term used to refer to the unique group of British economists inspired by John Maynard Keynes's General Theory in a more "fundamentalist" way than the American Neo-Keynesians.
Their origin stems from the inner circle, the five members of Keynes's "Circus" at Cambridge -- Joan Robinson, Richard Kahn, Piero Sraffa, Austin Robinson and James Meade -- got together to read Keynes's Treatise soon after it appeared in 1930 and thereafter commented on the successive drafts of the General Theory before it was published.
The Robinson-Kaldor growth theory and the Cambridge Capital Controversy galvanized a new generation of "Cambridge Keynesians" -- such as Luigi Pasinetti, Piero Garegnani, John Eatwell, Geoff Harcourt -- to initiate the "Neo-Ricardian" research program, an attempt at an explicit marriage of Keynesian theory of effective demand and the Ricardian theory of value.

 Zeitgeist Gallery - Cambridge, MA
Boston and Cambridge were so oriented toward straight rock 'n roll and jazz, according to Alan, that there was no room for disconcerting and disorienting experimental noise/music, so electronic musicians and free improvisors made Zeitgeist their home, making it a locus for non-mainstream community culture.
As did Radio-Free Cambridge pirate radio, which operated out of Zeitgeist from 1995 until it was busted by the FCC in 1998, by which time the station had thirty DJ's and was live on the air from 10:00 am till midnight daily.
Through public hearings, the Zeitgeist has established a valuable precedent in Cambridge by winning the right to request donations for events without an entertainment liscence, thus helpng to ensure the survival of underground, experimental, and non-commercial performing arts spaces throughout the area.

CLEESE: Graham and I met at Cambridge when we were both auditioning for a Footlights show, which would have been 1961, and we both auditioned unsuccessfully.
A lot of the other clubs tended to have a predominant class or predominant attitude; the Footlights crowd were very mixed and very good company, very amusing, and a lot less intense and serious and dedicated than the drama societies, who (it seemed to us) took themselves a bit seriously.
