Spend and Prosper A portrait of John Maynard Keynes
Hailed as the greatest economic scientist of our time, his theory of Employment, Interest and Money was responsible for much of the post-war affluence of many Western nations. What exactly were his ideas? And where have they gone today? Quentin Bell , J. K. Galbraith , Dame Ninette de Valois and others describe the man who was at the heart of the 1930s Bloomsbury set, who considered unemployment to be wasteful and cruel, and who advocated running economies in deficit in order to sustain a ' precious and precarious civilisation'. He succeeded personally and internationally. He married a Russian ballet dancer, started the Cambridge Arts Theatre with his own money, and founded the Arts Council. Narrator PAUL VAUGHAN
