Varje gång marknadsekonomin hamnar i kris blir den brittiske ekonomen John Maynard Keynes aktuell på nytt. Under 1980- och 90-talen var han inte i ropet men efter den senaste finanskrisen har intresset ökat. Lord Robert Skidelsky berättar hur Keynes tänkande formades av Eton, Cambridge, diskussionsklubben Apostlarna och fritänkeriet i Bloomsburygruppen. På 30-talet lanserade Keynes sin teori om hur ett samhälle kan lyfta sig ur en ekonomisk kris. Han menade att det var statens uppgift att investera och stimulera konsumtionen och att man på så vis kunde undvika en förödande arbetslöshet. Marika Lindgren Åsbrink, ekonomisk rådgivare till den socialdemokratiska partiledningen, menar att Keynes recept är aktuellt än idag. Samtidigt har budgetnormen och avsaknaden av en statlig investeringsbudget gjort det svårare att bekämpa arbetslösheten med keynesiansk politik.

Leading economist Lord Robert Skidelsky says it's the opposite of economics that makes us human: following our hearts and intuitions, rather than our heads.
