Henwood on Keynes

[Carl Remick]

Re Greg's:  "But Doug is much harder on poor Mr Keynes,
though he has paid Mr Keynes the respect of reading him
closely & extensively. And perhaps that's enough."

That's *more* than enough.  I credit Doug for opening my eyes to just
what a narrow, nasty man Keynes really was.  Citations from Doug's Wall
Street -- e.g., Keynes on Marxism:  an "erroneous ... creed which,
preferring the mud to the fish, exalts the boorish proletariat above the
bourgeois and the intelligentsia who, with whatever faults, are the
quality in life and surely carry the seeds of all human advancement."
Or Keynes on civilization:  "a thin and precarious crust erected by the
personality and the will of a very few, and only maintained by rules and
conventions skillfully put across and guilefully preserved."

You can have his Lordship.
