Abstract
Discusses the life, times, and writings of John Maynard Keynes. Consists of three parts. First, it summarizes Keynes' life by reproducing his 1946 obituary from The Times of London. Second, it recalls the dramatic economic events of the times in which he lived by presenting US macroeconomic data from 1920-1940. Finally, it provides some insight into Keynes' views of economic behavior by recounting a number of excerpts from his key writings. The teaching purpose is to introduce business students to modern economic theories about economic decision making, expectations, and uncertainty.
