DOI:
https://doi.org/10.52195/pm.v15i2.47Abstract
The central thesis of this paper is that John Maynard Keynes was a tragic victim of the fatal conceit. The opening section explains the fatal conceit and why scholars have failed to associate it with Keynes. The next section gives an overview of Keynes’s personality and character, with an emphasis on his intellectual arrogance and his sense of omniscience. Then the paper discusses Keynes’s supremacism as reflected in his sexism, eugenicism, racism, and impe-rialism. Finally, the paper shows that Keynes was a non-Marxist socialist, and his non-Marxist socialism was an intellectual error resulting from intellectual pride.
Keywords: John Maynard Keynes, Fatal Conceit, Eugenics, Imperialism, Non-Marxist Socialism.
JEL Classification: E12, B24, P20.
