Abstract
There have been numerous philosophers and even thinkers in economics who have put forward their theories. This paper discusses two major philosophers of economics, Adam Smith and John Maynard Keynes. It looks at how Adam Smith, known commonly as the father of modern economics, influenced the growth of economic theory and the evolution of modern, market-based societies. It also discusses how the second great revolution in economic thought was by John Maynard Keynes and how his theory of Employment, Interest and Money bestows to academia a different way of looking at the aggregate economic universe.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Smith was in support of free trade. He derived his support for free trade among nations by centering it on the obvious desirability of trade among individuals: "It is the maxim of every prudent master of a family, never to attempt to make at home what it will cost him more to make than to buy". Though Smith is usually thought to have relied on the Theory of Absolute Advantage to gain his support for free trade. According to Smith, free trade not only extended the extent of the market and, thereby, permitted greater division of labor; free trade also increased productivity by allowing countries to specialize in what they do well. In Smith's view of the workings of the market system, any short-run deviation of the market price from the long-run price would activate the forces of competition which would ultimately take the market price to its long-run level."

The paper presents the main economic theories each economist and discusses their contribution to society -- then and now . The paper also compares and contrasts the theories and concludes with a brief assessment of their legacy and lasting impact.

Comparison of Karl Marx and John Maynard Keynes
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Some of the similarities and differences in the economic philosophies of Marx and Keynes may be understood better if we consider the major philosophical influences on the two. Marx was greatly influenced by the German philosophers Friedrich Hegel and Ludwig Feuerbach. While Hegel is known for his philosophy of dialectical historicism, Feuerbach emphasized materialism. Combining the two philosophies Marx develop his own 'Materialist' concept of history. The major philosophical influences for Keynes were the analytical philosophy of G.E. Moore, and the pragmatic conservatism of Edmund Burke-elements that are reflected in his economic theories. (Hall and Smith 245)"

"THE MARSHALLIAN CONTRIBUTION TO THE KEYNESIAN ARGUMENT
Introduction
The purpose of this research to consider the Marshallian contribution to the Keynesian argument. These contributions are related primarily to the concept of expectations, and to monetary theory. With respect to monetary theory, the emphasis in this research is on quantity of money and liquidity preference.
Background
The Great Depression of the 1930s ushered in unemployment levels of 25 percent and higher in the United States and other industrial economies, and prevailing economic models appeared to be incapable of explaining economic developments (Eisner, 1994, pp. 211-229). It was into this economic morass that John ..."

"The Changing Function of Markets From Walras too Marshall to Keynes
This research considers the changing function of markets in the economic theories and concepts of Leon Walras, Alfred Marshall, and John Maynard Keynes. The function of markets in economic theory is interrelated with other economic phenomenon.
Walras and Marshall on Markets
With respect to the function of markets, the essential difference between Walras and Marshall is that Walras (1911, p. 145) considered price to be the adjustment variable, while Marshall (1920, pp. 384-386) considered the adjustment available to be demand. Walras contended, thus, that the quantity of a good demanded and supplied depended in some way on the price of that good. Marshall, by contrast, contended that the price for..."

Abstract
This paper talks about the life of John Maynard Keynes. It also discuss some parts of the Keynesian era and his theories of the economy.
From the Paper
" John Maynard Keynes was born in 1883 and died in 1946. He was one of the greatest economists. John changed the way of the post war economic policy and he was the only one that had a whole branch of economic named after him. Keynes was a political activist and he was always devising schemes and programs. Keynes view of the world was ?It is not true that individuals posses a prescriptive ?natural liberty? in their economic activities. There is no compact conferring perpetual rights on those who have or on those who acquire the world in not so governed from above that private and social interest always coincide. It is not a correct deduction from the principle of economics that enlighten self-interest always operates in the public interest. Nor is it true that self interest generally is enlighten, more often individuals acting separately to promote their own ends are to ignorant or weak to attain even these (Minsky 149)."

Summary
From the Paper
"Keynes was not the sort of economist who sat down with graph paper, pens, and formulae and worked out prescriptions for precisely what government should do in the face of any given economic event, although Great Britain?s Prime Ministers did seek his counsel. Rather, Keynes? ideas could be called a sort of economic humanism, which may account for their remaining popular in more modern times. Although Keynes supported an activist government, rather than one that completely let economics takes its course, he also believed that no matter what glitches occurred in the financial field, things would eventually work themselves out."

Abstract
The paper examines the problem of white-collar crime in relation to the free market global economy, which has played a large role in increasing corporate crimes. The paper looks closely at the economic theories of Adam Smith and John Maynard Keynes that explain free market abuses. The paper concludes that although Keynesian regulatory theories provide a strong groundwork for a justice and rights based system of rules to control and balance free market economies, the lack of government enforcement through the private sector allows corporate criminals to go unpunished.
From the Paper
"The central issue of Adam Smith's "hidden hand" economics in the free market economy is the growing failure of the U.S. government to regulate the way that banking has been practiced in global markets. One example of this was the problem of the Savings and Loan Crisis, which often deregulated banking institutions, causing problematic ethical issues through justice based theories of fair and balanced market behaviors. In this case, the government did not enforce restrictions on competitive measures for commercial banks for the greater benefit of the banking industry."

Abstract
The paper examines how the free market global economy has played a large role in increasing corporate crimes. The paper looks at the conflict between the economic theories of Adam Smith and John Maynard Keynes and shows how the details of economic global free market systems can identify the problems of 20th century white-collar crime within the discourse of rights and justice-based theory. The paper presents a strategic plan that will address systemic problems that facilitate corporate crime. The paper believes that with a coordinated resolve to fight corporate crime, this is a workable strategy that will improve the situation substantially and prevent a great deal of free market abuse.

Abstract
This paper discusses the influence of John Maynard Keynes' economic theories on modern economics and how those theories were truly given a pragmatic market in the American economy during and following the Great Depression. Keynes was born in Cambridge in 1883 and would never stray too far from that place since he went on to attend King College at Cambridge where he majored in mathematics. He was able to apply many of his theoretical concepts in government work in the British Treasury where he was instrumental in the Treasury's work at the Treaty of Versailles.

Abstract
This paper analyzes the economic situation of the 1930s and assesses the factors that were responsible for the rejection of Keynes ideas during this time period. It discusses how the Great Depression made people nervous about accepting new economic ideas, but that his economic policies might have been beneficial in the long run.
From the Paper
"It is quite usual that people do not readily accept changes in their lives easily. A change in routine and economic patterns would certainly disrupt people?s lives, which they would certainly not great warmly. This is because of the fact that it would mean readjusting themselves to almost everything that they do. A change in economic relationships too would mean that virtually everything in society would change. This is because of the fact that nearly everything in society is economic based (Begg, 2000). When there were problems visible in society, Keynes formulated economic policies that he believed would solve economic crises if a country adopted them. However, this was not to be, as his theory was not greatest with the greatest enthusiasm."

?Essays in Persuasion?, 2004.

Abstract
Keynes saw the role of the economist as an advisor on centralized government economic policies. This paper shows how, in "Essays in Persuasion", Keynes argues that Europeans of the time had a tendency to believe that the world they lived in was immutable and unchangeable and that this belief resulted in a certain blindness to the economic realities of the time. As such, Keynes argued that the role of the economist in such a society was to advise the government on public policy decisions. The paper shows how economists, such as John Buchanan, linked themselves to the Keynesian school of thought, while others, such as von Hayek, have moved away from Keynes's active role in the political sphere.
From the Paper
"Keynes' accuracy in economic forecasting lends some credence to his thought that economists may be useful in the political arena. Specifically, in Essays in Persuasion, Keynes is remarkable in his ability to forecast political and economic events. He warns of the economic troubles the affected Europe and the United States will encounter after reparations against Germany in WWI. Notes Keynes, ""If the European Civil War is to end with France and Italy abusing their momentary victorious power to destroy Germany and Austria-Hungary now prostrate, they invite their own destruction also, being so deeply and inextricably intertwined with their victims by hidden psychic and economic bonds"."

Was Keynes a Keynesian?, 2004.
This paper discusses the similarities and dissimilarities in the old and the new Keynesian theories, thereby concluding that Keynes was a true Keynesian.

Abstract
This paper explains that the old Keynesians and the new Keynesians of the 1990s presume that both prices and wages tend to be stringent over a short period; as a result, the amount or the quantity of output begins to adjust itself according to the changes observed in the aggregate demand. The author points out that the major reason for the split in thought is the fact that John Maynard Keynes left his analysis of the ?General Theory of Unemployment? incomplete. The paper relates that both groups have discussed and explained the saving mechanism and its impact; but, where old Keynesians evidently opposed saving, the new Keynesians gave many pro saving statements.
From the Paper
"Mankiw, the leader of the new Keynesians, explains and makes use of the fundamental tools involved in the Keynes general theory including IS and LM curves, aggregate supply and aggregate demand, and the multiplier and accelerator. However, unlike the old Keynesians, Mankiw, his subordinates and colleagues sought benefit of the economy in the saving approach. Where old Keynesians saw a marked decrease in the output levels due to savings, Mankiw claimed and showed how saving at a high rate can cause the output levels to soar. Making use of the ?Solow growth model?, Mankiw explained and established a clear link between saving phenomenon and higher levels of output as well as the resultant ?steady-state capital stock? in the following words: ?the saving rate is a key determinant of the steady-state capital stock."

Abstract
In contrast to the "co-operative" economy of classical theory, the "entrepreneur" economy described by Keynes' general theory can achieve not only market clearing as a possible outcome but also stagnation and instability. There is an aspect of common cause between Keynes and Marx. Specifically, the rhetorical task of persuading political economists to rethink capitalism's inherent stability requires a refutation of classical theory's thin concepts of money and the magnetized nature of capitalist production.
