Richard F. Kahn, 1905-1989
Richard Ferdinand Kahn este recunoscut ca primul economist ce in 1931 (pe cand avea 25 de ani) a propus idea multiplicatorului pe care o va utiliza Keynes in 1936 ca piesa bazica in teoria generala.
Nascut la Hampstead, a studiat la St. Paul School si Kings College din Cambridge, in al carei departament de economie a activat din 1951 pana in 1972.
In ciuda lipsei de recunoastere oficiale a marelui sau prieten intim, Kahn s-a transformat intr-un important si fundamentalist keynesian de la Cambridge, denuntand perversiunea ideilor keynesiene realizate de partizanii "sintezei neoclasice".
Kahn a fost desemnat de Keynes in testamentul sau ca unul din executorii sai, insarcinandu-l cu recolectarea, editarea si conservarea scrierilor sale economice.
