John Maynard Keynes
In truth, the gold standard is already a barbarous relic.
John Maynard Keynes

John Maynard Keynes

John Maynard Keynes
It is astonishing what foolish things one can temporarily believe if one thinks too long alone, particularly in economics.
John Maynard Keynes
Conservatism leads nowhere it satisfies no ideal.
John Maynard Keynes
I am sure that the power of vested interests is vastly exaggerated compared with the gradual encroachment of ideas.
John Maynard Keynes
The considerations upon which expectations of prospective yields are based are partly existing facts which we can assume to be known more or less for certain, and partly future events which can only be forecasted with more or less confidence.
John Maynard Keynes
Like all his type, Newton was wholly aloof from women.
John Maynard Keynes
The expected never happens it is the unexpected always.
John Maynard Keynes
The immense accumulations of fixed capital which, to the great benefit of mankind, were built up during the half century before the war, could never have come about in a Society where wealth was divided equitably.
John Maynard Keynes
The treasury could fill old bottles with banknotes and bury them..and leave it to private enterprises on well-tried principles of laissez-faire to dig the notes up again.
John Maynard Keynes
