Abstract
Discussion of the thought of John Maynard Keynes has usually focused on his economic theories, with little systematic attention given to his scattered political and philosophical observations. This paper argues that Keynes had a definite political philosophy that united many of his seemingly disconnected statements. It describes that philosophy as an unconventional left-of-center liberalism based in large part on G.E. Moore’s ethical theories.
