**Krugman Admits Keynesian “Economics” Is About Empowering the State

**In a recent screed posing as a blog post, Paul Krugman lets the cat out of the bag: the essence of Keynesian “economics” is giving the Political Classes more power. He writes:
**
**…the hatred for Keynesian economics has less, I think, to do with the notion that unemployment isn’t a proper subject of policy than about the notion of shifting power over the economy’s destiny away from big business and toward elected officials. (emphasis mine)
**
**In other words, an economy really should be the plaything of the Political Classes, as though they had the brilliance and expertise to make things any better. Furthermore, whenever libertarians speak of things like market processes, people like Krugman throw in the term “big business,” which supposedly means that the two are the same. So, either Krugman is ignorant about what we mean by markets, a price system, and entrepreneurship, or he is patently dishonest. Or both.
**
**I should add that earlier in his post, he smeared Ron Paul and Rand Paul by calling them a “white supremecists.” Yep, another typical day at the office for Paul Krugman.

*...erh ..Oooops, sorry, what *William* is making out of it because - as per usual - you are just posting "well researched info", aren't you?

*Did you get this: "elected officials"?

*Apart from that: yupp, calling them “white supremecists” seems to be quite fitting.

Oh yes, take the easy way out Hippie J.
Seriously: have you actually read the text and researched a bit beyond that? Did you really read what Krugman said?
I mean, it's OK to question Keynesian economics, but don't you think that there should be more substance than just your, oh sorry: William's weak propaganda?
Do you really expect that anybody with only half a brain can take this serious?Aren'ty you claiming to have been at university? Didn't you learn to use your brain, didn't you learn to check sources, facts, quotes in order to form your own opinion?Followup Messages:
