“The true value of a human being can be found in the degree to which he has attained liberation from the self.”

“Only a life lived for others is worth living.”

“Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty.”

Albert Einstein

I had a shortened version of the last one put on my family gravestone.

simply,

do some more study, see: http://www.scribd.com/doc/7732911/Albert-Einstein for an overview of Einstein. To think that that Man communicated, merely, in ‘maths’, is obscene..

Economics is central to everyones lives and yet very few have a grasp on the fundimentals myself included until quite recently. It is commendable that Keynes encourages the lay reader to continue to struggle with the concepts and admits his lack of communication skill.

His theories, taken as Economic Principle(s), have destroyed countless Worlds, and, Millions more, Men.

This: “I doubt whether I can hope, in these articles, to bring what is in my mind into fully effective touch with the mind of the reader. I shall be saying too much for the layman, too little for the expert. For—though no one will believe it—economics is a technical and difficult subject. It is even becoming a science. However, I will do my best—at the cost of leaving out, because it is too complicated, much that is necessary to a complete understanding of contemporary events.”

–encapsulates, neatly, at once, his own arrogance, and the centerpiece of the ruse found threading through the body of his ‘works’.

even Einstein hadn’t a problem explaining his Theories, to anyone inquisitive, enough, to ask, yet Keynes, dealing with topics dealt with by everyone, couldn’t muster the same?

Sure~

This is not just ‘oversimplified’. It is simply dead wrong. If he was right, then why are we still talking about this? The equalities he postulates do not exist, and he is far too casual about applying those ideas across the whole structure of production. Now it seems there will be a whole new raft of opportunity for Keynes to be discredited, and for people to persist in believing in him in spite of all evidence. Each day I become more convinced that most of what passes for political economy is religion in disguise.
