Someone (no registered username) is continually removing the "Probability theorist" category. Please stop. Bertrand Russell (not exactly a mathematician incapable of recognizing "axiomatic systems") reviewed him. But really, the point is not whether or not a Wikipedia editor likes "A Treatise on Probability" or that others may have competing theories, or even definitions. What next? Austrian schoolers arguing that Keynes is "not really" an economist? Doprendek (talk) 03:13, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
can you please point me to the passages in his book that show his work abiding by any axiomatic system? russell was much more a philosopher. these are cowardly statements. please show me how his claims line up with the theory.
and i'm not a nameless user. i'm actually quite accomplished and smarter than you (if you read my edits, you'll know why). obviously you're not interested in that. your'e interested in defending incorrect statements. laplace was a probability theorist, as was kolomogorov and jacob bernoulli.
it is not easy being a probability theorist, you degenerate. i am also fortunate to be a probability theorist, and i do not agree that keynes is one. only you're saying that.
australian schoolers? i'm a mathematician you clown. start showing some formal rigorous arguments instead of word salad and walls of text. i expect it or i'm calling a mod. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.3.213.121 (talk) 04:58, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
adding another bit: who is the say ANY ECONOMIST is a probability theorist? do you even understand the difficulty of probability theory, or are you just so neutralized to the nonsense that comes out of economics that you think whatever they do is probability theory?
like, get it through your head: economics is NOT science, and by extension, the lack of scientific BASIS of keynes' theories almost instantly disqualify his work from qualifying as probability theory. if his economics work was truly probability theory, he would have made falsifiable claims that could have been tested rigorously by means of statistical analysis.
i love how economists think they are mathematicians or qualify as mathematicians. you do not. you did not take the proper math classes. you took half-assed mathematics courses under the umbrella of "mathematical finance" and now you're trying to educate me, after you were taught bullshit.
get it through your damn head: mathematical finance is a JOKE. ABSOLUTE JOKE. by extension: i'd love for you to prove the basis of financial derivatives, if you're so bold as to make claims that keynes is a valid probability theorist because he was REVIEWED BY A PHILOSOPHER. PHILOSOPHERS ARE NOT PROBABILITY THEORISTS (UNLESS THEY ARE THE ELITE MATHEMATICIANS MENTIONED ABOVE).
do not force me to flash my credentials, which will clearly establish that i have deep knowledge of the field of probability theory, with STATISTICALLY RIGOROUS DEMONSTRATIONS using REAL WORLD DATA. yes i am that good, and i hate showing that, but clearly you need to be put in your place, peon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.3.213.121 (talk) 05:04, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

On April 21, 2016, marks 70 years since John Maynard Keynes died, so all his works is now under public domain
source Keynes passed away 70 years ago today

The woman in that photo had a name and a life before, after, and outside that frame. Lange is mere conduit. "Migrant Mother" is Lange's title. Keep all that, if you will, but the IDENTIFICATION of the photo, i.e. what it IS, is not its title. It's the subject's name. How many portraits of Queen Victoria are titled "John Q. Smith's portrait of some female monarch or other that shows what a monarch lived like back in those days"? Victoria's portraits are captioned with Victoria's name. How is Florence Owens Thompson any different? The omission of the subject's name is EXTREMELY offensive! Artists don't rule the world (much as I'm sure that they, like any other discipline, think they should)!2604:2000:C682:B600:2196:82A8:54A0:41BA (talk) 07:42, 5 October 2016 (UTC)Christopher L.

"The advent of the global financial crisis of 2007–2008 caused a resurgence in Keynesian thought. Keynesian economics provided the theoretical underpinning for economic policies undertaken in response to the crisis by President Barack Obama of the United States, Prime Minister Gordon Brown of the United Kingdom, and other heads of governments.[10]"
What absolute rubbish of the highest order. Ok so I go to link to find out who wrote this garbage and it no longer exists. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.24.239.1 (talk) 12:17, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

I don't know how relevant this is, but here's a quote from Hayek's 1984 interview in which he speaks of Keynes.
https://www.cato.org/policy-report/mayjune-1984/exclusive-interview-fa-hayek
Q: You taught with Lord John Maynard Keynes at the same university, did you not?
Hayek: I taught at his university while he was advising government. We at the London School of Economics were evacuated to Cambridge for the whole World War II period, and Keynes got me rooms in his college. But he was most of the time advising governments, so we met only occasionally on weekends. We were personally very good friends.
He had the illusion that a little inflation is good. Too much, no. He was one of the cleverest men I knew, but he was not really a very competent economist at all. He had strong intuitions, which sometimes were right, and the strong conviction that he could put over any theory that he invented to justify his particular recommendations. He was a very great man, but I don't think he was a great economist.

However, the advent of the global financial crisis of 2007–2008 and the COVID-19 pandemic sparked a resurgence in Keynesian thought.
This statement has no citation and is highly arguable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.97.209.50 (talk) 16:53, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
Parts of the market stayed irrational despite those crises. Keynes said (decades ago) that "Markets can remain irrational a lot longer than you and I can remain solvent." (from A. Gary Shilling, Forbes (1993) v. 151, iss. 4, p. 236). It's not found in the Talk archives. If notable, it could be added. TGCP (talk) 23:17, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
