I find Keynes intriguing. Too bad it has never been tried sad

I've learned from experience that people using these terms are usually full of fail.

Crooq... we have been working under the Keynes model since 1913. You didn't know that?

Edit: that is really sad that you didn't know that. I bet most of America doesn't even know that either. Did you not see the Nixon speech where he said we are all Keynesians now?



And Nuem.. Please tell us what economic theory you want to teach us.

That is what China did. They had the highest savings rate and now they have the fastest growing economy.

I'm not an economist so don't ask me. Whenever I see actual economists debate I never hear them use those terms. I do see them used all the time on the Internet however, typically by people who also talk about 2012 and space aliens.

This. I love when people here think they have a grasp on economics in totality. It's always an entertaining read.

The real question is about mercantilism. Keynes and Austrian economics are a sideshow just like socialism v capitalism.

This. We've discussed it on this board multiple times. N00b would know that if he'd been around here more often than "when Ron Paul is barely above easily dismissive levels of publicity."
