Hi all, Here is Keynes' biographer dealing with how we need to go beyond Keynes to deal with the current economic crisis and how the government is twisting the facts in order to justify their austerity program, which has shown no signs of working. While I don't agree with everything that Skidelsky asserts about the macroeconomy, it is nice to have an historian dealing with the problem. As some of you know, economic history was sidelined, as opposed to sidestepped, many years ago to the detriment of the discipline.
