| | | Keynesian economics fails, for the same reason Marxism and feminism fail. These are all expressions of Enlightenment thinking, and therefore based on wishful thinking.
The Enlightenment says: humans are rational thinking machines, god-like in our perfect ability to see reality and make cost/benefit calculations. Reality: we are hairless monkeys, bipedal wolves. We share 50% of our DNA with starfish. 98% of our behavior can be predicted by assuming we act just like all the other pack predators (hyenas, dolphins, lions, others). Herd behavior, territoriality, dominance hierarchies, fight-or-flight.
Give Marxists power, and they just create another ruling class, more vicious than the last.
Give women power, and they promptly start doing all the crazy bad stuff males do.
Give anyone the power to print money, and, given time and opportunity, they will print an infinite amount of it. |
