Introduction

I am during these days reading Keynes. I will read The General Theory, and play around with his ideas. We will see what I obtain.

John Myrand Keynes was born the 5 June 1883 in Cambridge. (What a nice place to be born and to be an economist!) He died 21 April 1946.Here is a nice links with his biography http://www-gap.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Keynes.html

By the way, he lived both world wars, he was alife at the same time than Ludwig Wittgenstein (1890-1951), may be he was aware of historical results or debates as Hilbert’s problems, Russell and Withehead Principia Mathematica or Einstein (1879 - 1955) Relativity Theory.

I assume that the amount of information difussed among the universities was neither high nor extremly specialized at those times.

So, is not obvious that he was influencied by all (and a lot of more) of these results. However, those were good times in the science literature!
