Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

Completely off-topic. One of these days somebody will have to explain me, very slowly, how Keynes is still appropriate in a post-industrial society that is going to suffer (is suffering) a rather strong shrinkage of its resource base (oil, food, water, general ecosystem, ...).

I fail to understand how it is possible to maintain the current western pattern of consumption. If think that we will get poorer. Currently because of re-distribution (from the middle to the top), but in the future due to sheer natural scarcity.

Not a subject of this thread, I know. But I could not help it ;)
