increased public expenditures through government programs (fiscal policy) and money supply (monetary policy)
The Great Depression. John Maynard Keynes (1883-1946) was a noted economist who posited a theory of economic regulation that came to be called, 'supply-side' economics or Keynesian economics. Maynard's earliest research, prior to the Great Depression, focused on the relationship between unemployment, prices, and money supply. After the Depression, as well as during WWII, Keynes advocated that governments actively control the money supply as a means of countering the cyclical effects of economic cycles. This was a great departure from the neoclassical economic thinking that dictated that markets be entirely free and left to evolve on their own, allowing pure supply and demand to rule markets. The success of Keynesian economic principles throughout the early and middle 20th century cemented it as the prevailing theory of economic management and regulation, at the national level, and by the 1950s, most western governments followed Keynesian theory in regulating their economies.
John Maynard Keynes was known for promoting the idea of active government intervention in the economy, particularly during times of recession. He advocated for fiscal policies, such as increased government spending and tax cuts, to stimulate demand and boost economic activity. His theories, outlined in "The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money," fundamentally challenged classical economics and laid the groundwork for modern macroeconomic policy. Keynesian economics became influential in shaping economic policies in many countries, especially during the Great Depression.
He claims that he is an atheist. If you go on Wikipedia, it will tell you all about him. And I believe it says he is the great-great-great grandson of Charles Darwin.

John Maynard Keynes
John Maynard Keynes believed that the Great Depression was primarily caused by a lack of aggregate demand in the economy. He argued that insufficient consumer spending and investment led to widespread unemployment and business failures. Keynes criticized the classical economic theory that advocated for self-correcting markets, asserting instead that government intervention was necessary to stimulate demand and restore economic stability. His ideas laid the foundation for modern macroeconomic theory and policies aimed at managing economic cycles.

The term "fiscal Policy" is often associated with John Maynard Keynes. During the Great depression John Maynard Keynes believed that the recessionary gap was caused by a decrease in aggragate demand. This led him to develop theories which involved closing the gap by expansionary fiscal policy as it is called today. This could be achieved by increasing government spending to account for a decrease in Consumption by the private sector.

I'm glad you asked me that. I know his great-nephew, Toby. The name is pronounced "Canes". It's the same Norman French family that settled in the village of Milton in Buckinghamshire in the 1200s, renaming it Milton Keynes but the town's name is nowadays usually pronounced "Milton Keens". Maynard was Lord Keynes's mother's surname.
