Thanks for your input. I am just a self taught student of economics with a background in physics and engineering.

My dad grew up during the depression years, and like many from that Era, has a deep appreciation of John Maynard Keynes work. Keynes was one of the principle forces that prevented Britain from either becoming fascist or communist. The totalitarian system of communism was perceived as the biggest threat in the years leading up to WW2, and the UK's ruling class were tolerant of Keynes for that reason, and because he was one of "theirs" I think.

Anyway I regard Keynes as a skilled practitioner of economics, and besides he knew how to make a good trade occasionally. An important acid test.

Not going down the road to a totalitarian regime is a lesson we have to learn all over again. It easy to be critical of our elders looking at history in hindsight, actually making it happen is another ballgame altogether. (imho) -g-
