I sincerely Keynes is in hell

When someone complained that Keynes's recommendations would lead to inflation in the long run, he famously replied, "In the long run, we are all dead."

He was right about that. By the time the chickens have finished coming home to roost, Keynes will have been dead quite a long time.

Behind Keynes's attitude as revealed in this comment is, as I once read in "Culture Wars," the fact that he was a homosexual. As such, he was chiefly interested in power and pleasure in his own lifetime, and had small concern for the future. He had no family, no children, and no particular interest in what might happen to other people's children when they grew up--or their children's children.

Exactly right. Keynes was a self-professed immoralist and
a homosexual rapist of young boys. Even Hayek thought his
short-term view was due to his homsexuality. Everything he
wrote or believed is garbage and should be tossed in the
trash. And eternal shame on the economics "profession" for
teaching this crap instead of real, Austrian economics.
