Keynes as a Monetary Historian

D. E. Moggridge

Chapter 5 in Money and Power, 1988, pp 131-153 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Maynard Keynes enjoyed history and historical scholarship. As a schoolboy at Eton he began his own enquiries into the Keynes family tree and eventually established to his own satisfaction the identity of his Norman forbears who came to England with William the Conqueror. When he was a Cambridge undergraduate, his first publication, other than reports of Union debates, was a review of Volume VII of The Cambridge Modern History (JMK, XI, pp. 50–27).1 He continued to enjoy history in later life as a reviewer (JMK, X, pp. 60–2; XI, pp. 542–61; XXVIII, pp. 287–94), as an editor of the Economic Journal and its economic history supplement and as an interested layman (JMK, XXI, p. 561; XXII, p. 135), as well as branching out on a substantial scale as a biographer and an intellectual historian competent well beyond his own subject of economics. 2
