The Keynes Collection

John Maynard Keynes (1983-1946) was one of the most influential figures of the 20th century in changing how to think about the economic realm of human affairs.

His ideas on thinking and his own transformational journey are an inspiration for us and we take him as our primary source thinker for guiding our work and acknowledge the importance of his ideas in our name.

The Keynes Centre is pleased to host a major collection which provides an overview of his life and body of work. The collection also illuminates the various facets of his career, interests, and activities for every period of his life.

The material may be of interest to researchers, students, journalists, writers, or anyone seeking to learn more about the ideas of this great thinker.
