Money Talks: Professor Lord Robert Skidelsky, biographer of John Maynard Keynes

GBNews published this video item, entitled “Money Talks: Professor Lord Robert Skidelsky, biographer of John Maynard Keynes” – below is their description.

In this episode, Liam talks to Professor Lord Robert Skidelsky, Biographer of John Maynard Keynes – the most influential economist of the 20th century.

In this wide-ranging interview, Skidelsky discusses how he helped David Owen to set up the SDP in the early 1980s, how economic policymaking works and how he developed from a historian into an economist.

“Britain’s history was forged outside Europe, not within Europe,” Lord Skidelsky remarks, reflecting on the UK’s vote to leave the EU, and why the efforts of Remain-voting MPs and peers to hold a second referendum in a bid to reverse Brexit were in his words “completely wrong”.

In This Story: Vote

Voting is a method for a group, such as a meeting or an electorate, in order to make a collective decision or express an opinion usually following discussions, debates or election campaigns. Democracies elect holders of high office by voting. Residents of a place represented by an elected official are called “constituents”, and those constituents who cast a ballot for their chosen candidate are called “voters”. There are different systems for collecting votes, but while many of the systems used in decision-making can also be used as electoral systems, any which cater for proportional representation can only be used in elections.

In smaller organizations, voting can occur in different ways. Formally via ballot to elect others for example within a workplace, to elect members of political associations or to choose roles for others. Informally voting could occur as a spoken agreement or as a verbal gesture like a raised hand or electronically.
