    Fuck Keynes. This dude was all "capitalism SUCKS ASS but hey at least it won't suck so much in 50 years when productivity has more than doubled and the wealth will be passed on to the worker resulting in a 20 hour workweek. Just gotta wait it out till then." Well productivity has more than doubled since then (more than he predicted) and capitalism is still shit!

      Still worth reading imo at least for the historical understanding. Certainly not the worst economist there was.
