He said that in the long run we’re all dead, and it seems we live as if that’s an excuse not to plan beyond today.
Yet at the same time, we say we care about others. It is virtue signalling, isn't it?
Keynes was great for the time, but he never saw the globalised world we have now. Which is why the governments that keep trying to apply Keynesian economics to their local environments, are doing more harm than good.
Totally agree, Keynes "saved the world" from the Great Depression of the 1930s with his theories of aggregate demand, but obviously it was neither sustainable nor the solution to the big challenges of today's economy.
You know, I’ll write an article about Keynes! Your article reminded me of some things. Thanks.
