“Capitalism is the astounding belief that the most wickedest of men will do the most wickedest of things for the greatest good of everyone.”
― John Maynard Keynes

#Polymath and and #economist. Image
Between 1901, (age 18) and 1915, Keynes kept a quarterly tabulation of his sexual partners (both male and female). Entirely fitting hobby for a budding economist. Among his many male lovers was Benoy Kumar Sarkar, identfied as Indian nationalist and social scientist. Image
In 1925 Keynes fell in love with and married Russian ballerina Lydia Lopokova. They would remain married until his death in 1946. Image
