A Keynesian at Occupy Wall
A Keynesian at Occupy Wall Street before they were cleared from Zuccotti Park.Keynesians aren’t the only people asking for capitalist governments to try to spend the way out of the crisis. The Trotskyists and other vanguardists are for this too, though they express this in pre-Keynes terms by demanding Public Works. Unfortunately they call themselves Marxists even though Marx specifically said that this wouldn’t work and in any event was not interested in devising policies to run capitalism.As an example of the tactics of such groups look at this thread on another forum and the request to push the same form of wording at other Occupy sites in accordance with the well-known vanguardist tactic of proposing “model resolutions”.
