    John Maynard Keynes opposed the creation of the London Marathon. He thought we'd all die in the long run.

    Just a note. The political left is very critical of Keynes. We dont want to soften capitalism -- we want to supplant it with socialism

    It's a shame the neoliberals were able to strangle Keynesianism. Now we have enormous inequality and massive debt. And it seems as though another big economic bust is right around the corner.

    This is a pretty good video on Keynes. Usually its hyperbiased one way or the other. I would like to see more economists.

    "Practical men who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influence, are usually the slaves of some defunct economist. Madmen in authority, who hear voices in the air, are distilling their frenzy from some academic scribbler of a few years back"

    When I began college in 1957 I was taking a course in Economics 101...and I subscribed then and I subscribe now; to the John Maynard Keynes macro economics theory....it still rings true today!

    The issue with Kaynes ideas, and why they cannot be implemented, especially in a world today was mentioned in the very beginning of the video: Corruption; or as it is more commonly refered to today: Lobbyism.
