Sick-o. I didn’t realize John Maynard Keynes was basically a closet Nazi.
You’d think Libs would disown him, but they must be desperate for support, trying to rub shoulders with dead racists like Margaret Sanger and John Maynard Keynes.
“You’d think Libs would disown him...”
They didn’t realize he said anything wrong.
IF someone produced antisemitic writings from von Hayek should we disavow his economic theories?
Gotta remember Joseph and Dolphie were best buds there for a while.
Maybe this will get their attention:
“ My feelings about Das Kapital are the same as my feeling about the Koran. I
know that it is historically important and I know that many people, not all
of whom are idiots, find it a sort of Rock of Ages ... it is inexplicable
that it can have this effect. Its dreary, out-of-date, academic
controversialising seems so extraordinarily unsuited as material for that
purpose.... How could either of these books carry fire and sword round half
the world?(2)
HUMMM wonder if Krugman read this:
“Our power of prediction is so slight, it is seldom wise to sacrifice a
present evil for a doubtful advantage in the future. Burke here held, and
held rightly, that it can seldom be right to sacrifice the well-being of a
nation for a generation, to plunge whole communities in distress, or to
destroy a beneficent institution for the sake of a supposed millennium in
the comparatively remote future.(21)”

How do you reconcile this Krugman? On one hand he says Government spending will save the world, yet later claims it’s not right to have the present suffer for some perceived advantage later. BTW, he didn’t like Jews.
