<BR> I think that many on these lists might find the issues
<BR>raised in this article of interest, even if ultimately the
<BR>article is to be dismissed as totally misguided hogwash.
<BR>I would not be raising this if I did not think that at least some
<BR>of its arguments are not totally unreasonable</BLOCKQUOTE>

<BR>Barkley,
<BR>
<BR>I found the quotes from Keynes a little more credible. But I'm not sure how
<BR>far Reder can push his claims. Was Keynes a Nazi? Of course not. Was his
<BR>insights tainted by his anti-semitism? I don't think so. Query most
<BR>assimilated Jews who went to places like Cambridge, Oxford, or even Cornell
<BR>(like my dad) in the 1940s and other universities, and anti-semitism was
<BR>pretty much something you had to deal with.
<BR>
<BR>I found the article interesting, but I'm not sure, at the end of day, what we
<BR>gain from knowing that "famous" economists are prejudiced assholes.
