Here’s a great one: John Maynard Keynes. Editor Paul Hehn, at the English economics desk, has just whipped up a nifty profile of Keynes, whose “notion that governments should intervene in times of market distress” seems awfully timely these days.
Keynes was a brainiac who also hung with Virginia Woolf as a young man. (Alan Greenspan was chums with Ayn Rand. What is it with economists and writers?)
Take a peek, won’t you?
