John Maynard Keynes

"I find myself more and more relying for a solution of our problems on the invisible hand which I tried to eject from economic thinking twenty years ago."

―John Maynard Keynes, 1946.

John Maynard Keynes, 1st Baron Keynes (1883 – 1946) was a British economist and Templar, working for Abstergo Industries. He was close friends with Alan Turing, another Abstergo employee, and a colleague of American economist Harry Dexter White. Both Keynes and White were among those in attendance at the Bretton Woods Conference in 1944. 

Keynes' influence spread throughout the United States in the 1930s and continued after his death into the 1970s. He argued that aggregate demand determined the level of economic activity, and that too little would cause mass unemployment. These ideas were so popular that leaders all over the world used them to aid their economies.
