If we get a chance to change that, will the same mistakes be made?

recently read a good series on Keynes. Milton Friedman and his cohorts would appear to have no soul and the likes of Reagan and Thatcher drank the kool aid to our peril. We can only hope the next decade becomes their undoing, as beyond that time frame we just may perish.

John Maynard Keynes was arguably the greatest economist of the 20th century. He discovered the idea that governments should stimulate demand during economic downturns – and was the creator of both the IMF and the World Bank. His ideas continue to underpin a lot of the modern economic system. (The School of Life).
