“Keynes was chief economic adviser to the British government and largely responsible for keeping the British economy afloat at a time when more than half of our gross national product, and all of our foreign exchange, was being spent on the war.

Four years later he died of heart failure, precipitated by overwork and the hardships of crossing the Atlantic repeatedly in slow propeller-driven airplanes under wartime conditions.” MenYearsHeartWarGovernmentHalfEconomyFourEconomicConditionsHe ManProductsLuckyDiedResponsibleAppearanceBritishDrivenChiefsTitlesHardshipFour YearsAirplaneGrossLecturesNewtonCrossingsAdviserCambridgeWartimeOverworkKeynesBritish GovernmentHeart FailurePropellerForeign ExchangeBritish Economy Author:Freeman Dyson
