Skidelsky

Allegations that he was racist or had totalitarian beliefs have been rejected by Robert Skidelsky and other biographers.

However, according to Skidelsky, the consensus is that Keynes's efforts only began to have a more than marginal influence on US economic policy after 1939.

Keynes's mother made her children's interests her own, and according to Skidelsky, "because she could grow up with her children, they never outgrew home".
