'Famed economist Milton Keynes': Economics graduate AOC confuses John Maynard Keynes with Milton Friedman in Instagram video pushing for a four-day work week - and claims it was a 'typo'


Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (top) mixed-up two economists while addressing the benefits of a four-day work week in a video shared on Instagram. The 30-year-old was asked by one of her followers to discuss the benefits of a shorter work week when she misspoke. During the conversation, Ocasio-Cortez confused British economist, John Maynard Keynes (bottom right), who theorized that government spending was linked to economic growth, with 1976 Nobel Prize winner, Milton Friedman (bottom left), an American economist who believed in free-market capitalism. 'It's funny that you ask this because I was just reading today about how Milton Keynes, a famous economist back in the day, predicted that by 2030 US GDP would grow six to eight times what it is which would allow for everyday people to work 15 hours a week,' Ocasio-Cortez begins. The congresswoman referred to Milton Keynes, an accidental combination of the names of both economists. Milton Keynes is also a town in England. Shortly after the mistake, Ocasio-Cortez shared a clarification in her Instagram story. 'UGGGH TYPO. It's John Maynard Keynes. Mixed his name with Milton Friedman - a (very) different economist,' she wrote.
