“On November 6, 1924, a tall Cambridge economist stood up and delivered the fourth annual Sidney Ball Memorial Lecture at Oxford University. Then, as now, public lectures allowed distinguished scholars to weigh in on sundry issues outside strictly academic settings. But John Maynard Keynes’s now 100-year-old address, ‘The End of Laissez-Faire,’ was no ordinary set of remarks. It foreshadowed a revolution in economic thought that eventually transformed the world’s economic landscape.” (08/26/24)
