You guys here have a bad tendency to think that any intelligent person must be a enneagram 5. That's just some really lazy way of analyzing both people and their psychological functions. Keynes is certainly a secondary 5w6, but his primary enneagram is 1w9. If you read any of his biographies, commentaries or his books - it would be a good place to start before guessing/typing people -, it will be easier for you guys to understand the reason for 1w9. He doesn't give a damn about pure logic for its own sake (a 5w6 thing). "Treatise on Probability" was a criticism on probability theory and the way statistics was being dealt by mathematicians. He is a quintessential doer (gut type). He was out there to try to save the world by means of economics and politics - typical ennea 1 in action - also, see Bretton Woods and his attempt to create a balance (1w9) between nations' foreign exchange currencies. Also, his book about "The Economic Consequences of the Peace" was an attempt to prevent the 2º WW from happening (1w9).
Biography
John Maynard Keynes, 1st Baron Keynes (5 June 1883 – 21 April 1946), was a British economist whose ideas fundamentally changed the theory and practice of macroeconomics and the economic policies of governments. He built on and greatly refined earlier work on the causes of business cycles, and was one of the most influential economists of the 20th century and the founder of modern macroeconomic theory. His ideas are the basis for the school of thought known as Keynesian economics, and its various offshoots.
