I actually have studied Keynesian economics quite a bit. At one point I was going to major in economics. Keynes was also one of the major intellectuals of the 20th century whom many compared to Einstein.

It was Keynes who accurately predicted what would happen to Germany if they were stripped of everything after WWI and also predicted the great depression.

I consider myself a Keynesnian.

This won't mean anything to those who learn their political economy from Bill Maher's television show (a familiar source, koan?) but for others it may be informative.<<

On another note, I consider Bill Maher, John Stewart and Steven Colbert to be three of the most important people in the world today with regard to teaching people to think in a more sophisticated manner. Especially for the young.

And yes, I always learn a lot from Bill Maher.
