Yeah but I based my question on you saying Keynes was awesome once

Your first statement isn't true anyway just ftr
I think most people who read Keynes come away impressed, even if they disagree with what he says. The Economic Consequences of the Peace is pretty much 100% wrong, but you gotta respect that level of impact.

There are principles I agree with that originate with Keynes (e.g. counter-cyclical fiscal policy). But those principles are totally mainstream at this point. Almost everyone agrees with some of Friedman's principles of monetary policy now too, but that doesn't make them Monetarists.

I would say actually being Keynesian sort of requires you to look at economics in a particular way, speak a particular language. I don't hate them. Some are terrible, some are ok, and some are pretty good. It's just not a club I'm a member of.

I would listen but unfortunately I'm washing my hair.
Fear not my friend, its not a live feed so you can listen anytime

Anyway back on topic. For the Dave Smith diehards like EWS and me there wasn't much new material though if was still an interesting chat. All about Dave's formative years and his journey from dumb generic leftist to hotshot comedian and political commentator.

Until tomorrow...
