However, one lesser known aspect about his life was his pedophiliac activity. Economist Saifedean Ammous book, The Bitcoin Standard, details some interesting factoids about Keynes life.
Ammous started off by detailing how the family unit is destroyed by government largesse:
Substituting the family with government largesse has arguably been a losing trade for individuals who have partaken in it. Several studies show that life satisfaction depends to a large degree on establishing intimate long-term familial bonds with a partner and children. Many studies also show that rates of depression and psychological diseases are rising over time as the family breaks down, particularly for women. Cases of depression and psychological disorders very frequently have family breakdown as a leading cause.
The economist then transitioned his analysis into Keynes life, which revealed his pedophiliac tendencies:It is no coincidence that the breakdown of the family has come about through the implementation of the economic teachings of a man who never had any interest in the long term. A son of a rich family that had accumulated significant capital over generations, Keynes was a libertine hedonist who wasted most his adult life engaging in sexual relationships with children, including traveling around the Mediterranean to visit childrens brothels.

"Frankly, that makes no logical sense. You're correct. Keynes' pedophilia boosts his credibility with the morally challenged Left. However, to be a pedophile during his day was deemed highly immoral behavior. Such immorality shows an intellectually challenged mind, which as history has proved, created a failed economic policy used by FDR. It further defames him and the horse (economic theories) he rode in on.

Keynes's early romantic and sexual relationships were exclusively with men.[138] Keynes had been in relationships while at Eton and Cambridge; significant among these early partners were Dilly Knox and Daniel Macmillan.[17][139] Keynes was open about his affairs, and from 1901 to 1915 kept separate diaries in which he tabulated his many sexual encounters.[140][141] Keynes's relationship and later close friendship with Macmillan was to be fortunate, as Macmillan's company first published his tract Economic Consequences of the Peace.[142] Attitudes in the Bloomsbury Group, in which Keynes was avidly involved, were relaxed about homosexuality. Keynes, together with writer Lytton Strachey, had reshaped the Victorian attitudes of the Cambridge Apostles: "since [their] time, homosexual relations among the members were for a time common", wrote Bertrand Russell.[143] The artist Duncan Grant, whom he met in 1908, was one of Keynes's great loves. Keynes was also involved with Lytton Strachey,[138] though they were for the most part love rivals, not lovers. Keynes had won the affections of Arthur Hobhouse,[144] and as with Grant, fell out with a jealous Strachey for it.[145] Strachey had previously found himself put off by Keynes, not least because of his manner of "treat[ing] his love affairs statistically".[146] Political opponents have used Keynes's sexuality to attack his academic work.[147] One line of attack held that he was uninterested in the long term ramifications of his theories because he had no children.[147] Keynes's friends in the Bloomsbury Group were initially surprised when, in his later years, he began pursuing affairs with women,[148] demonstrating himself to be bisexual.[149] Ray Costelloe (who would later marry Oliver Strachey) was an early heterosexual interest of Keynes.[150] In 1906, Keynes had written of this infatuation that, "I seem to have fallen in love with Ray a little bit, but as she isn't male I haven't [been] able to think of any suitable steps to take. . .He was an outspoken campaigner for reform of the laws against homosexuality."[151] John Maynard Keynes

Yes, this has been known for a long time. I remember reading a letter he wrote to a friend, I believe while he was attending some sort of conference. He wrote something like, “The entire time I could think of nothing but how I’d much rather be buggering an undergraduate in the SCR cloakroom” — or something very much like that. (SCR = Senior Common Room)
