The 1930s were a desperate time. National economies were struggling and depressed, and many
feared monetary collapse. It was at this time, in 1936, that John Maynard Keynes published his
best-known and most influential work, The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and
Money. This was a treatise dealing with various principles of macroeconomics, a treatise that
would strike a chord with enough people that it would lead to the founding of a branch of
economic thought called Keynesian Economics. John Maynard Keynes had been educated at
Eton and Kings College at Cambridge. He had overseen a number of positions and written a
number of other economic treatises and pamphlets by the time he was ready to publish The
General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money. His understanding of economics,
particularly macroeconomics, has since made him one of the best-known and most frequently
studied economists in modern history.
