My name is John Maynard Keynes, and I was born on June 5th, 1883 to John Keynes and Florence Keynes. I was born in Cambridge, where my father was an economics lecturer. As a young boy, my parents sent me off to Eton College, where I would eventually earn my scholarship to Cambridge.

Initially, I wanted to study philosophy–but after I studied math and under the tutelage of Alfred Marshall–who coined the supply and demand curve–I started to pursue the field of economics. I was optimistic at the time–coaxed by my parents and my grandmother who told me that I could achieve anything that I put my mind to.

In 1908, I took on a lower level position in the British Treasury. 10 years later, I was negotiating the Treaty of Versailles. It was that moment that I resigned, knowing that the Treaty was too burdensome on the newly formed Germany. The country would collapse from the economic weight as they would perpetually stay poor from the remittances paid.

In the 1920s, the way I perceived the economy drastically changed. The Depression caused unemployment to skyrocket to 20%, and my research led to the publication of "The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money". 

In 1925, I married Lydia. We lived a happy life. I continued to work on employment, publishing "The Means of Prosperity" to tackle global unemployment. A copy of the book was sent to Roosevelt, who implemented my policies to the New Deal, leading the country to great success. 

During World War II, I wrote books about how the war should be financed primarily by higher taxes to prevent hyperinflation. When Allied victory seemed assured, I helped negotiate an end to the war.

In 1946, I died.
