Keynes: One Mean Money Manager - By Jason Zweig


No one is a Keynesian now—at least not among money managers.

And that is a shame.

A new analysis of the investment performance of John Maynard Keynes proves that the famous economist also was one of the greatest investors of the past century. By understanding what made Keynes such a star, investors can get a firmer grasp on why so many of today's money managers seem so dim.

Regardless of how you feel about his theories on the need for governmental intervention in the economy, Keynes (1883–1946) long has had a reputation as an outstanding investor. Until now, however, no one had ever gone to the trouble of reconstructing his investment track record.
