he was john maynard keynes.the 1930s, his ideas spread from cambridge, england, to cambridge, massachusetts, to a generation of young economists waiting to spread the message. franklin roosevelt wasn't a young economist but the leader of a nation with problems. in 1933, keynes was one among a babble of voices. his letter to the president would go unheeded. john maynard keynes had new ideas about the economy, and he rushed to get them before the public. dr. lorie tarshis, a student at cambridge in 1933 remembers the desperate rush to publish. why did keynes rush? i think the reason was the sense of urgency communicated to him by developments within britain and europe-- in germany where hitler had come to power, in the united states where revolution was in the air, and in other parts of europe and in britain, too, where the intellectual class was rapidly moving to the left. he felt he had an answer that was superior to marx as to analyzing capitalism's discomforts an answer that was not only superior but much more

much of the theory came from john maynard keynes.nes argued that an industrial economy could get stuck at high levels of unemployment. the depression proved this. he predicted strong government intervention such as tax cuts and spending programs would restore prosperity. this seemed to be happening during world war ii. by 1945, many people accepted keynesian theories but were reluctant to see them legislated. to bridge this gap between economics and politics a council of economic advisers was suggested. the question remained where to put this new body. we put it in the executive office of the president which tied it up to presidential power and fit it into the basic idea that the president is the manager of economic affairs. while conservatives and liberals debated in congress, a weary president died. the nation mourned franklin roosevelt and wondered about its new leader the unknown, uncharismatic harry truman. for all his supposed shortcomings, the new president had common-sense ideas on unemployment. leon keyserling, original memb
