John Maynard Keynes

1883–1946, English

Economist. He promoted a form of state (or really expert) led capitalism that was intended to replace laissez-faire (free market) capitalism and to rescue economies from the threat of depression. These ideas, along with his charm and remarkable speaking and writing ability, made him world famous and a political figure of note.

In his personal life, he married a ballerina and was a member of the so-called Bloomsbury Group, which revered art and books, distrusted authorities, whether of church, state, or family, and led a cultivated but Bohemian lifestyle.

Axios Institute is dedicated to the study of human values, both the valuations that we make and the ways that we go about making them.

In addition to the study of values, our field includes what is commonly referred to as ethics, moral philosophy, and philosophy of life.

We are an independent research institute, and are not affiliated with, nor do we propound or express the views of, any particular religion, philosophy, or organized system of thought. On the contrary, our aim is to study a great variety of approaches, and to do so as objectively as possible.

The mission of Axios Press, the publishing division of Axios Institute, is to publish books that provide readers with a great variety of approaches to the study of human choices and values.
