John Maynard Keynes: DEFUNCT ECONOMIST

“...the ideas of economists and political philosophers, both when they are right and when they are wrong, are more powerful than is commonly understood. Indeed the world is ruled by little else. Practical men, who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influences, are usually the slaves of some defunct economist.”

-John Maynard Keynes
[the irony is, that John Maynard Keynes would BECOME THAT DEFUNCT ECONOMIST]
