This Keynes Society (pronounced “canes”) is named after the great British Economist, John Maynard Keynes, and was set up nine years ago to give pupils in the Economics and Business department the opportunity to hear leading academic experts in their fields and also from those working in industry.  

We are fortunate enough to have links with some leading academics, such as Patrick Minford CBE, and also have connections with Bristol and Swansea University.   In addition to the larger evening lectures, we have recently introduced smaller daytime lectures. The lectures are open to anyone who wishes to attend although the majority of those who attend are from the department.
