Abstract: Abstract Between the ages of fourteen and nineteen Keynes spent two-thirds of every year at Eton, a boarding school founded by Henry VI in 1440 with close links to King’s. The way of life of the school, its spirit, philosophy and curriculum, could not but have an impact on Keynes, eventually affecting both the structure and the beliefs of The General Theory. This chapter outlines the basic characteristics of Eton in the closing decades of the nineteenth century, suggesting also some of the most obvious effects on Keynes’s views.
