90. Keynes family was largely made up of academics
He was from the privileged classes but not a hereditary aristocrat. He received his peerage in 1942 during World War 2 while working on ways of financing the war effort and on plans for post war reconstruction. Unlike a lot of academic economists he was quite good at making money from his investments.
