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. To find out more about the Keynesian revolution follow the links at the foot of the page or on the side bar.

The Keynesian economists on whom we have focused on in the Virtual Economy are:

• John Maynard KEYNES
• Roy Forbes HARROD
• Sir John Richard HICKS

On each of these economists you will find some biographical details of their life and works, and a bit about the theories they developed or worked on.
