Text I (Questions 31-31)

John Maynard Keynes was at home in the world of business affairs, a shrewd dealer and financier. Every morning, in bed, he would scan the newspaper and make his commitments for the day on the most risky of all markets, foreign exchange. More than an economist and speculator, he was a brilliant mathematician, a businessman who very successfully ran a great investment trust, a ballet lover who married 5 a famous ballerina, an excellent writer and editor of consummate skill, and a man capable of both great kindness and ruthless wit. Keynes’s greatest fame lay in his economic inventiveness. He came by this talent naturally enough as the son of a distinguished economist, John Neville Keynes. As a college student, Keynes had already attracted the attention of Alfred Marshall, the commanding 10 figure at Cambridge University in economics for three decades. After graduation, Keynes soon won notice with a brilliant little book on India’s economics. He then became an adviser to the English government in the negotiations at the end of World War I. Dismayed and disheartened by the vengeful terms of the Versailles Treaty, Keynes wrote a severe critique of it, a book called The Economic Consequences of the Peace, which won him 15 international fame and respect. Almost thirty years later, Keynes would himself be a chief negotiator for the English government, first in securing the necessary loans during World War II, then as one of the architects of the Bretton Woods Agreement that opened a new system of international currency exchange after the war. On his return home from one trip to the United States, 20 reporters gathered around to ask if England had been sold out and would soon be another American state. Keynes’ reply was brief: “No such luck.”
