Keynes was born on June 5, 1883, in Cambridge, England.
His father, JohnNevilleKeynes, was a logician and economist and for 15 years chief administrator (registrar) at the University of Cambridge.
Keynes held that, on the moral plane, the peace treaty (see Treaty of Versailles) should show magnanimity to the fallen foe and that, on the economic plane, the demands for reparation were fantastically impractical and that unsuccessful attempts to enforce them would lead to the ruin of Europe.
Keynes had decided that a stronger theoretical foundation was needed for what later became known as an “expansionist” economic policy.
Keynes drafted a plan for an international organization to be called a “Clearing Union.” The purpose was to establish better order in international monetary relations and make it possible for nations to avoid the deflations and restrictions that had been rife in the period between the two world wars.
Keynes made a number of memorable speeches, the most important of which were devoted to expounding the ideas behind the Anglo-American postwar planning to an audience not well conversant with American points of view.
