A Harvard professor took to the podium at a finance conference Friday and called major influencer of modern economics John Maynard Keynes wrong about his philosophies because he was gay and childless.
During a question and answer session in Carlsbad, California, well-known historian Niall Ferguson was asked how he felt about the theories of English economist John Maynard Keynes versus those of Edmund Burke.
What the prominent Obama critic said in response hushed the crowd of over 500.
According to Tom Kostigen, editor-at-large of Financial Advisor magazine, Ferguson made it clear that he believed Keynes was uninterested in the what was good for society, basically because of his sexual orientation.
‘Ferguson asked the audience how many children Keynes had,’ wrote Kostigen in Financial Advisor. ‘He explained that Keynes had none because he was a homosexual and was married to a ballerina, with whom he likely talked of "poetry" rather than procreated.’
Kostigen said many of the audience members took offense at the remark, but that Ferguson continued.
‘Ferguson, author of The Great Degeneration: How Institutions Decay and Economies Die,' wrote Kostigen, ‘says it's only logical that Keynes would take this selfish worldview because he was an "effete" member of society.’

Professor Hans Herman Hoppe got in serious trouble with the guardians of political correctness at University of Nevada for suggesting that JMK’s theory might have had something to do with him being a homosexual. He ultimately won his battle with the University though.
Well, I won’t deny that homosexuals usually have only what’s worse for society on their minds.
Well, yes. This was obvious to me way back in the 1950s, when I was in college.
As the article says, Keynes’s best-known quote is: “In the long run we are all dead.” This was in response to the question, What will your economic policy do in the long run? Isn’t it very dangerous? Well, Keynes responded, “In the long run, we are all dead.”
Meaning, it doesn’t matter if the economy turns into a gigantic bubble down the line, and there is massive future hyperinflation, since we won’t be around to suffer the consequences anyway. So, who cares?
Obviously, that is the attitude of someone who doesn’t ever intend to have children, and could care less what happens to the next generation, after he is dead.
I.e., a homosexual.
And I am betting this author agrees with Keynes on globalism, free trade, the Int’l Monetary Fund....as Keynes was the implementor of the modern version of these things born at the Breton Woods conference. Would that make the author gay, diverse, or unsure of his sexuality?
Never apologize, Niall.
A whole bunch of them were gay and many of those that weren't were sexually deviant in other ways.
I agree. Someone should have asked Ferguson whether being rich and famous like him makes a person not care about the plight of poor unemployed people. Because an awful lot of liberals have kids and gays or otherwise childless I have known can be religious and conservative.

He’d have done better to mention that single heterosexual people have this problem too. At least the ones I know do. They couldn’t care less about what the debt & deficits are going to do to future generations. As long as they get theirs, to them it’s all good.
Well said!
Yes, but don’t plan on them listening. Homos are masters of circular reasoning as are all leftists. When nothing exists outside that prism, your comment is obviously the result of homophobia and society’s determination to discount the opinion of the 45% of the population that is Homosexual.
See what I did there? You see the same circular reasoning every day with the MSM.

Keynes was a proponent of eugenics. He served as Director of the British Eugenics Society from 1937 to 1944. As late as 1946, shortly before his death, Keynes declared eugenics to be “the most important, significant and, I would add, genuine branch of sociology which exists.”[136]
While not a fan of JMK, I feel obligated to point out to the folks in government that they should have finished his book. Yes, his policy calls for the government to stimulate the economy by issuing debt to get the velocity of money moving.
However, that part they forgot to read was when revenues started coming in, you are supposed to pay down the debt so that you had the ability to be stimulative again, when the cycle changed.
Seems like part I is fun. Part II is not. So our government just blew it off.
*quiet giggling*
Single heterosexual people selfish and liberal? That is a gross and incorrect generalization.
Part 2 never happens because Part 1 never works. If it did, then Obama’s stimulus should have worked. It didn’t.
Who the hell cares if in the long run it all goes crash? "In the long run, we're all dead." -- J.M. Keynes. Homosexual economics.
People don't understand because people operate under the illusion that all people are basically good. They don't grasp what original sin means.
Keynes was against large structural deficits because he believed they chilled rather than stimulated the economy.
Does that mean Obama is more gay or childless, just liberal or whatever ?
Men are more than brains attached to bodies. The argument can be made against clergymen who are no less monk than bachelor.
