Sir John Richard Nicholas Stone (August 30, 1913 – December 6, 1991) was an eminent British economist who in 1984 received the Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel for developing an accounting model that could be used to track economic activities on a national and, later, an international scale. Stone was educated at Westminster School, Cambridge University (Caius and King's). He is sometimes known as the father of national income accounting. He was a close associate of Keynes and his reputed homosexual lover. It is an open joke among economists that Stone received the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics in lieue of Keynes.
