#Keynes started the myth that Marshall suffered a mental crisis in his mid 20s. There's no evidence of that, but it's interesting that people have run with it -- a breakdown seems to be what the story needs. Why the epidemic of such crises among European intellectuals late 19th and early 20th century?
