[Forum] Ross Barry and Coast Community News should be congratulated for the excellent article on John Maynard Keynes (book review edition 238) and for the clear and concise explanation of Keynes’ contribution to economic theory.
Now that all our most rabid free marketeers in Parliament have suddenly become born again Keynesians, while torturously trying to explain how this sudden about face is actually no different from the views they have always held, it is highly desirable that as many people as possible have a grasp of the new economic reality, without having to make an academic study of his writings.
Perhaps, Ross Barry could be afforded a regular opportunity to examine economics questions of the day for the lay reader?
Somewhat along the lines of the regular articles written by Ross Gittens.
I’m sure we could all benefit.
