DO YOU PRONOUNCE IT KEYNES OR KEYNES?: Sam Gregg has an excellent review of a new book about John Maynard Keynes and his awful legacy. Key point at the end:
[W]hile good economics and good economic policy are important, they are not enough. The vision-thing matters. Keynes understood the importance of this and, I would argue, comprehensively outmatched his free market opponents in this area. As progressives understand better than most people, if you win the vision game, you likely win everything else. This is the lesson that Keynes offers to market liberals in our time. The bigger question is how many are willing to learn.
This echoes one of the main themes of The Socialist Temptation. RTWT.
