# John Maynard Keynes (@john-maynard-keynes)

John Maynard Keynes was a British economist and public official who transformed macroeconomic thought by explaining how an economy can settle into prolonged unemployment. His 1936 General Theory became a benchmark for later economics. His career joined abstract theory with work on war finance, peace settlements, monetary reform, investment, and international institutions.
