According to Lou Proyect, Doug is attempting to synthesize Marx with Keynes. I showed that Paul Sweezy was heavily indebted to Keynes (indeed he was arguably one of the first American Keynesians). Rakesh argues that Mandel in *Late Capitalism* made very significant concessions to Keynes. What does this tell us about the relationships between Marxist economics and Keynesianism?

Oskar Lange attempted to synthesize Marxian economics with neo-classical economic theory (a project that in a different form is continued by John Roemer). Justin Schwartz on the other hand finds much of value in Hayek's work and has even been known to call himself a Hayekian Marxist. What does this tell us about the relationships between Marxism and contemporary bourgeois economics?
