Keynesians - Introduction

Keynesian economists are, not surprisingly, so named because they are advocates of the work of John Maynard Keynes (if only all economics was that easy!). Much of his work took place at the time of the Great Depression in the 1930s, and perhaps his best known work was the 'General Theory of Employment, Interest & Money' which was published in 1936.

In this section we look more generally at the work of Keynesian economists. Follow the links below or at the foot of the page to find out more detail about what they believed in and the policies they proposed.
