Bot, why quote from a capito-imperialists like Keynes when there are plenty of anti-capitalists & anti-imperialists to quote from?
Even a blind squirrel finds a nut! And a broken clock-
Keynesianism is the extraordinary belief that the nastiest of men for the nastiest of motives will somehow work for the benefit of all, if we just have those men political pawns pretty please impose some restrictions on their masters
Is there anything wrong with the quote though?
Edit: there is. It cannot be found in any of Kaynes' works, and cannot be attributed to him.
