Why persist with the erroneous statement that Keynes was an inflationist? He wasn't. Keynesianism as practiced today is not what he had recommended. Have you ever read the General Theory of employment, interest and money? Or do you rely on mistatements of others ideas?

Keynes certainly had nothing to do with the creation of financial derivatives. Nor does his theoretic framework have a means of handling them.

In theory, he wasn't, but in practice this is the result of Keynesianism. This is no mistake. Keynes despised Western civilization but hid this contempt behind a facade of altruism just as he hid his habit of raping children behind the facade of his heterosexual marriage. He knew that socialism could be used to destroy Great Britian.

Keynesianism make Socialism economically viable by preserving private ownership while allowing for central planning and control. This combination of private profit with socialized risk is precisely what leads to the problems emerging in our banks, GSEs, agricultural markets, health care markets, etc, etc.
