 | | John Maynard Keynes (1883-1946), a British economist whose ideas spawned the rise of Keynesian economics (usually referred to as the Keynesian Revolution), is perhaps best known for his book, The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money (1936), which served as the philosophical foundation for much of 20th-Century economic policy and thought. |
 | | He was notoriously optimistic about the future, but believed, during the days of the depression, that capitalism and liberty were in grave danger, faced with their ideological enemies in fascism and communism. |
 | | During the Second World War, Keynes worked as an advisor in the British Treasury and, after the war, as one of the chief architects of the International Monetary Fund, or IMF, though his particular ideas would not serve as its foundation. |
