John Maynard Keynes was born on 5 June 1883 in Cambridge, England. He attended Eton College on a King’s Scholarship, then studied mathematics at the University of Cambridge. Although he had received little formal education in economics, Keynes caused a revolution in that discipline with the publication in 1936 of The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money, establishing a school of thought which remains associated with his name. Active also in the civil service, he led the British delegation at the 1944 Bretton Woods Conference. Known in his time and to posterity primarily as an economist, Keynes also published A Treatise on Probability (1921), an early work on the logical interpretation of that subject. Keynes died on 21 April 1946.
