Following the fi nancial crisis of September 2008 when the Ameri- can investment bank Lehman Brothers collapsed, threatening to engulf the entire banking system, the British economist John Maynard Keynes returned to center stage. In the pop u lar press and in the writings of many economists, Keynes featured promi- nently as governments around the world urgently sought ways to avoid economic collapse. In the United States, the New York Times contained articles titled “What would Keynes have done?” (October 28, 2008), “The old economist, relevant amid the rub- ble” (September 18, 2009), and “An old master back in fashion” (November 1, 2009).

  • John Maynard Keynes 1 John Maynard Keynes
    John Maynard Keynes 1 John Maynard Keynes John Maynard Keynes, primo Barone Keynes di Tilton (/ˈkeɪnz/; Cambridge, 5 giugno 1883 – Tilton, 21 aprile 1946), è stato un economista britannico, padre della macroeconomia e considerato uno dei più grandi economisti del XX secolo. I suoi contributi alla teoria economica hanno dato origine a quella che è stata definita "rivoluzione keynesiana". In contrasto con la teoria economica neoclassica, ha sostenuto la necessità dell'intervento pubblico nell'economia con misure di politica fiscale e monetaria, qualora una insufficiente domanda aggregata non riesca a garantire la piena occupazione. Le sue idee sono state sviluppate e formalizzate nel dopoguerra dagli economisti della scuola keynesiana. A quest'ultima viene spesso contrapposta la scuola monetarista, che si originò nel dopoguerra dalle teorie di Milton Friedman. John Maynard Keynes nel 1946 Carriera Studi Figlio dell'economista di Cambridge John Neville Keynes e della scrittrice attivista per i diritti civili Florence Ada Brown, John Maynard Keynes frequenta l'elitaria scuola di Eton, distinguendosi in ogni ambito dei suoi inusitatamente vasti interessi. Viene in seguito ammesso al King's College, presso l'Università di Cambridge, al corso di matematica; il suo interesse per la politica lo conduce però presto a passare al campo dell'economia che studia, sempre a Cambridge, sotto la guida di Alfred Marshall e Arthur Cecil Pigou. Gli anni dall'università alla conferenza di pace di Versailles In cerca di una fonte di reddito, Keynes pospone la scrittura della tesi a Cambridge e partecipa al concorso per l'ammissione al civil service, qualificandosi secondo. Paradossalmente, consegue la votazione peggiore nella sezione dell'esame dedicata all'economia; a ciò commenterà in seguito che "gli esaminatori presumibilmente ne sapevano meno di me".

A nuclear war is so unthinkable that I wondered if it was possible to write a group of verse equivalents of Picasso’s dove. I imagined a village in a fold of some remote range of mountains – the Pyrenees or the Caucasus or the Himalayas – where the remnants of a people ravaged by war have been settled for centuries. There, they live very much like villagers the world over, except that the “heroism” and “romance” of war are, for them, taboo subjects.

    Keynes frente al pensamiento único ENRIKE GALARZA * ohn Maynard Keynes (1883-1946) es uno de los economistas más impor- Jtantes en la Historia del Pensamiento Económico. De forma casi inédita1 supo combinar en vida multitud de responsabilidades públicas con un con- tinuo e intenso esfuerzo intelectual, principalmente sobre cuestiones de Economía y de Política Económica. De hecho, pese a que el origen de la pala- bra macroeconomía se atribuye al economista Ragnar Frisch, toda la profe- sión reconoce que fueron los trabajos estadísticos y económicos, de inspira- ción keynesiana, realizados en las administraciones de los Estados Unidos y Gran Bretaña, allá por los años treinta y cuarenta, los que dieron contenido práctico a aquel neologismo. Es difícil negar la influencia del genial británico más de sesenta años des- pués de su muerte. Tal preeminencia podría inducir a pensar que Keynes fue un poderoso experto que dictaba sus opiniones, entre murmullos de admira- ción y pleitesía, a un grupo de iniciados acólitos. Nada más lejos de la ver- dad puesto que la heterodoxia de su mensaje chocaba con las concepciones instaladas en los círculos académicos, políticos y bancarios de su época, incluido el poderoso Banco de Inglaterra. Pese a tales dificultades, su mensa- je, parte de él, caló muy hondo en la sociedad británica, y no sólo en ella, como lo demuestran los sustanciales cambios de la actividad de la Administración Pública en los países industrializados. En el ámbito económico nacional, el legado de Keynes fue la generaliza- ción de la presencia del Estado en los mercados internos, su labor redistri- buidora y estabilizadora, el llamado Estado del Bienestar, más desarrollado en la Europa Occidental que en los Estados Unidos o Japón, tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

Section 4 Concluding Remarks 4-1 Summary 4-2 Three Lessons Section 1 Introduction Broad studies of Keynes’s economic thought have gathered momentum as the ‘Counter Revolution’ against him has strengthened since the 1970s. Thus, it is now necessary to return to the heart of Keynes’s visions as well as theories in order to seriously consider the lessons they offer regarding contemporary economic difficulties. Harrod (1982[1951]), Milo Keynes (1979[1975]), and Patinkin & Leith (1977) have attempted to determine Keynes’s thoughts based on the testimonies of his contemporaries. In addition, The Collected Writings of JMK (1971-1989) have enabled a 2 deeper understanding of Keynes’s visions through the analysis of primary documents. The fruits of this research are abundant, including studies by Dostaler (2007) and Hirai (2008) and four biographies1. Among these studies, however, few have considered Keynes as a practical man as well as a theorist.

  • Keynes, Trouton and the Hector Whaling Company. a Personal and Professional Relationship
    INSTITUTT FOR SAMFUNNSØKONOMI DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS SAM 8 2015 ISSN: 0804-6824 April 2015 Discussion paper Keynes, Trouton and the Hector Whaling Company. A personal and professional relationship. BY Bjørn L. Basberg This series consists of papers with limited circulation, intended to stimulate discussion. 1 Keynes, Trouton and the Hector Whaling Company. A personal and professional relationship. Bjørn L. Basberg Norwegian School of Economics (NHH) ([email protected]) ABSTRACT John Maynard Keynes’ activities on the stock market are well known. One company in which he bought stocks was the Hector Whaling Company Ltd., London – a comparatively small and little known company founded in 1928. The director of this company was Rupert Trouton. He had worked with Keynes for the Government during the First World War, was his student at Cambridge, and became a close partner in the City from the 1920s and onwards. The reason why Keynes invested in Hector was obviously his association with Rupert Trouton. The first part of this paper explores briefly the development of the Hector Whaling Company and its origins in Norway. The main part analyses the relationship between Trouton and Keynes. The focus is on their co-operation relating to Hector Whaling, but their relationship regarding various other businesses, as well as on the personal level, is also described. The paper is based on studies of the Keynes archives in Cambridge as well as newly available archives of the Hector company. The analysis provides new insights to the more general question on the motivations and decisions behind Keynes’ stock market investments as well as the internationalization of the whaling industry in the 1920s and 30s.
