117th carnival of debt reduction - famous Brits edition

Filed Under links 

So here we are with the 117th carnival of debt reduction. I’d like to take this opportunity to deepen your knowledge of famous Brits.

budgeting and finance with John Maynard Keynes

Keynes on right

John Maynard Keynes (1883-1946) developed a school of macroeconomics now called Keynesian economics.

He advocated government intervention to reduce the effects of recessions and depressions in the economy and was the leader of the British delegation to the 1944 Bretton Woods conference which established the World Bank and the IMF.

In the long run we are all dead.

philosophical musings with Francis Bacon

Francis_BaconFrancis Bacon (1561-1626) was an English philosopher who started the development of the modern scientific method.

A number of conspiracy theories revolve around Bacon, including speculation that he was the illegitimate son of Elizabeth I, and also that he authored some of the plays generally attributed to Shakespeare.

a little philosophy inclineth man’s mind to atheism; but depth in philosophy bringeth men’s minds about to religion

His major accomplishments include the Great Western Railway, the Thames tunnel and the Clifton Suspension Bridge. He was also a shipbuilder.

An inveterate Formula 1 driver, who came 2nd in 1958 to fellow Brit, Mike Hawthorn, he also won the 1,000km Nuremberg ring race three years in succession.
