Read Keynes. His writing makes no sense. You can only “understand” him and his Ism if you read his conclusions and ignore the inconsistencies and non sequiturs. His argument does not make sense linguistically. Politicians love him because he justifies control by “experts” and the pols are, of course, all experts.
My take on his work.. his equations were skewed by his desire to eliminate poverty through socialism.
His idea that a government may accrue debt because it was ‘loaning money to itself’ was the justification for FDR’s spending sprees and is the basis for the huge deficits that are still ongoing.
Kind of like the Global Warming scam.. Get some ‘expert’ in his field to say it is ok for the government to do something and a never-dying monster is created.
His intellectual mentor, Kant, was 100 times worse.
