Get your facts right Obama !
He should have read Saturday's Daily Mail !!!'In nature, there are neither rewards nor punishments - there are Consequences.'0 -
Of course, that too could be said of Keynes. He was simply a "liberal fascist" puppet - a front man for the central bankers and international financiers who infest Wall Street and the City of London.
You say Keynes must be a fascist because he said Germany could apply his theories. But since he tried to get the UK & USA to adopt them presumably that makes him anti-fascist too?Returning to the 1944 Bretton Woods agreement, is there any evidence that Keynes, and his handlers, were satisfied with the outcome of the Conference?
Keynes was suffering from ill health during the conference and was there out of a sense of duty not for any personal gain. The conference took its toll on him and after one row with the Americans he suffered a heart attack. Sorry if that doesn't fit with your idea of him as an evil mastermind taking part in a global conspiracy.
He failed in his bid to get an independant reserve currency created - the Americans insisted it should be the dollar, so he would not have been satisfied with that. However he did manage to achieve a lot.Keynes was a puppet of the City0 -
Brilliant exposition from asbokid and reaper.
Many thanks for all that interesting valuable info.
The only thing that put me off Keynes was learning of the old man's beautiful young Russian ballerina wife less than half his age.
A person's personal life must surely reflect his true inner personality .
Or am I wrong ?0 -
Look on the bright side, Alistair Darling didn't think that the UK would enter a recession

He was promptly rounded on by the press and the Cabinet and, we assume, was told by GB to shut up and do as he was told.0
