He once told The Guardian that the Bush administration's Council of Economic Advisors was loaded with people who "have never heard of John Maynard Keynes." Nevermind the small detail of then-chairman N. Gregory Mankiw being one of the leading Keynesians
...is not a contradiction at all. One Keynesian doesn't make the CEA not loaded with Keynes-ignorant idiots.
one of the Rothbardians' even-more-disturbed cousins, the Marxists... The Marxian view of the worker being stuck in a state of near-starvation if he acts alone is false, and demonstrates how truly shallow the view has always been.
I'm not in the mood to pick a fight, but have to note that as almost all of the European Left, even Social Democrats originate in Marxism, such easy dismissal may be a bit too provocative on an European blog.
Besides, could you support that claim about the Marxian view of the sole worker in near-starvation with actual quotes? *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
Two of Bush's three chairmen have been Keynesians -- Mankiw and Bernanke. The other, Glenn Hubbard, is (I think) a Supply-Sider.
I'll try and track down the quote, but it's in Galbraith's The Affluent Society, if I'm not mistaken. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. - George Carlin
