Political Theory, John Maynard Keynes, Greatest Economist of the 20th C.
John Maynard Keynes was arguably the greatest economist of the 20th century. He discovered the idea that governments should stimulate demand during economic downturns – and was the creator of both the IMF and the World Bank. His ideas continue to underpin a lot of the modern economic system. (The School of Life).
