LO2: Identify John Maynard Keynes, Alfred Marshall, and Adam Smith, and their influence in economics  Alfred Marshall (1842–1924) an economist of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries who published Principles of Economics (1890) and whose influence on economics continues to this day.  He contributed to the spread of neoclassical microeconomics. © 2012 McGraw-Hill Ryerson Limited Ch1 -3 LO2: Pioneers of Economics

LO2: Identify John Maynard Keynes, Alfred Marshall, and Adam Smith, and their influence in economics  John Maynard Keynes (1883–1946) is a British economist whose The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money (1936) provided a new framework for thinking about the Great Depression of the 1930s.  During the 1930s, previously accepted theories could not satisfactorily explain why many of the leading capitalist economies failed to recover from depressed output and high unemployment. © 2012 McGraw-Hill Ryerson Limited Ch1 -4 LO2: Pioneers of Economics
