Before there was Warren Buffett, there was John Maynard Keynes<br/>John Maynard Keynes was a many-sided figure - world-changing economist, architect of the post-War international monetary system, bestselling author, a baron in the House of Lords, and key member of the fabled Bloomsbury group.<br/><br/>He was also one of that rare breed who mastered the financial markets in practice as well as in theory - an expert stock picker and star fund manager, Keynes made vast sums of money both on his own account and for the college endowment fund he managed.<br/><br/>Keynes' investment principles, refined over decades of investing, represent a straightforward and time-tested framework for exploiting the periodic irrationality of stock markets. In today's era of profound uncertainty and volatility, the insights of Keynes - a man who lived and prospered through two world wars, the Crash of 1929, and the Great Depression - are more relevant than ever.<br/><br/>This accessible and informative book identifies what modern masters of the market have taken from Keynes and used in their own investing styles - and what you too can learn from one of the greatest thinkers of the twentieth century.
