La Trobe University is proud to present the&nbsp\;25th GS Watson Public Lecture: John Maynard Keynes and Probability. A free public lecture exploring the life\, mathematics and ideas of John Maynard Keynes\, presented by Professor Terence Mills.




This year&rsquo\;s lecture explores the life and ideas of John Maynard Keynes\, one of the most influential economists of the 20th century.
