Keynes thought FDR was clueless. What do you think his opinion of Reagan, et. al. would be? These people that blame Keynes NEVER studied Keynes. Too funny!

I think your denigration of UC Davis and agricultural studies in a college setting speaks more to your own limited knowledge than any reality. Agricultural products have long been the most valuable export produced by the United States and for California where UC Davis is located. When working for Chevron I called on the expertise of several UC Davis professors to head off a major investment by Chevron in almond production which would have proven to be financially disastrous. UC Davis, founded in 1922, will continue to mature and expand just as UC Berkeley, which was founded in 1860, has done over time. .

first off: Keynes gets the blame? LOL! Aside from a few Austrian commentators, an assortment of academics and pundits and the likes of Heinz on these threads, who do you see blaming him? THe average citizen doesnt even know his name. when the economy crumbles, Keynes will not get the blame i am sure you will agree. AS to whether or not his policies are being misinterpreted, well clearly THAT is a topic which has academics all in knots...'The wild duck has dived down to the bottom—as deep as she can get—and bitten fast hold of the weed and tangle and all the rubbish that is down there, and it would need an extraordinarily clever dog to dive down and fish her up again'

They still discuss Kant in the coffeehouses of Berkeley?

Hey dude, so where did you get your degree? You sound like you know the layout of the UC System, but your ignorance of UC Davis as the world's finest viticulture and enological research institution leaves me wondering just what you do know. FWIW, the Aussies have // are pulling ahead of the Americans in enology, as they use govt money to pursue research while the American govt won't contribute. Most Oriental students prefer UCD over the others, as they come to learn not play. Highest suicide rate in the nation for colleges is UCD. The finest veternarians I have EVER met come from UCD or Univ of Colorado. UC Davis MD's are perhaps some of the few that do their homework. I do not use MD's except for trauma, however if I had my choice, UCD would be it. Berkley can dry up and blow away since it is such an anal-retentive, porch-climbing, NAME ONLY institution sporting tonnes of cash for physics research, and how to pump egos to the point of bursting but not quite. UC Santa Cruz is sort of more like the Cal.State system than the UC System. I attended CalPoly for my Masters and felt like it was a high school trade-school compared to my undergrad work at UCD. CalPoly is a joke compared to UCD, but don't go telling that to any CalPoly students. Just ask them WHERE their professors came from......75% come from UCD. disclosure: I am a fermentation scientist from UCD. I have visited most campuses of the UC System. San Diego sucks but has good curriculae, Berkley is only for egoists so that is why they have so many top notch graduates......but FEW world class researchers which can work as a member of a TEAM, although the name BERKLEY attracts them, they could not learn the physics anywhere else.....so by default they MUST go to Berkley or overseas; (the dude that discovered prions as in Mad Cow came from UC San Francisco, fwiw), and Davis is only for those who want to learn, not play. That means not play at all if you are interested in anything better than a C grade. Many aren't. Regards, Matin Thomas

Knight Tin, UCD is probably the reason why California wine is unmatched by anything else in the world. Especially silver oak. (hey mthomas, is that right? <gggg>) Ramsey
