John Maynard Keynes. Who was 'John Maynard Keynes'. John Maynard Keynes was a 19th-century British philosopher and economist who spent his working years with the East India Company and is known as the father of Keynesian economics.
Keynes argued that governments should solve problems in the short run rather than wait for market forces to fix things over the long run, because, as he wrote, âIn the long run, we are all dead.â This does not mean that Keynesians advocate adjusting policies every few months to keep the economy at full employment.
