So this is the master mind of modern progressive economics.

I keep telling ya, Keynes and his generation of ‘intellectuals’ were totally lost, spiritually and factually. They were jokes.

Somehow their ideological thoughts took seed, and here we are.

Interesting article. Problem is, the mention of his sexual ‘proclivities’ would only further endear him to his leftist acolytes.

“We repudiated all versions of original sin, of there being insane and irrational springs of wickedness in most men. We were not aware that civilization was a thin and precarious crust…and only maintained by rules and conventions. It did not occur to us to respect the extraordinary accomplishment of our predecessors in the ordering of life, or the elaborate framework that they had devised to protect this order. We completely misunderstood human nature, including our own”

Pretty much encapsulates progressivism in one sentence—except for the part about figuring out they were wrong.

In viewing the PBS TV series on economics Commanding Heights in episode one one of the commentators is shown speaking from Keynes former home. I was always struck by the homo-erotic painting on the wall in the background. Note this video series is available online and is a great introduction to market based economics. I have all my macroeconomics students view it as a class assignment.

At first I thought it said the “Kenyansian Way”, but then again it’s pretty much the same thing.
