A biography on an economist…
JKG: He
wasn’t only an economist. This book, Universal Man: The Seven Lives of John
Maynard Keynes by Davenport-Hines. Shows his many sides.
JFK: The
seven lives?
JKG: Altruist,
boy prodigy, public man, official, lover, connoisseur and envoy.
JFK: He did
a lot of things then?
JKG: And did
them well. He was an economist, of course, but he was also a negotiator, a
politician, a successful investor, an art collector, supported the drama and
music, and even kept pigs.
JFK: A
universal man, a renaissance man, a polymath.
