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.Yeah but I based my question on you saying Keynes was awesome once
Your first statement isn't true anyway just ftr
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.
