Keynes
The Rise, Fall and Return of the 20th Century's Most Influential Economist. John Maynard Keynes first came to public attention on both sides of the Atlantic in the early 1920s, when the depression in Britain engaged his attention, with the argument that unemployment needed a radical remedy - a direct attack on the free-market doctrines of the day. But later, his thinking was dismissed as 'depression economics', irrelevant in a booming economic world. Then came the great meltdown of 2008. The market forces, on which the rising generation had been taught to rely, failed. For 30 years Keynes's reputation had languished; in 30 days it was rehabilitated.
