CFS Lecture (jointly organized by the Center for Financial Studies at Goethe University, and the Institut für Bank- und Finanzgeschichte e.V.)

John Maynard Keynes (1883-1946), the famous Cambridge economist, was an active investor in stocks, currencies, commodities and art. He invested for himself as well as for King’s College, Cambridge. Mr Chambers' talk will describe just how innovative he was as an investor, how well he performed and how his investment activities influenced his most well-known publication, The General Theory.
