Keynesian exuberance for the powers of stimulating demand or the 'consumer'
has been in vogue since the 1930s. It is sheer nonsense which is taught in every
school across the globe. Keynesian economics is little more than intellectual
pablum used by Christian
Louboutin Sky High Platforms those in power or by a technocratic and
largely illiterate elite to increase their power; enhance government; print
money and otherwise destroy normal economic relationships. Keynes' theory, so
believed by professors is in practice a disaster.
Keynes was a left wing wall flower Christian
Louboutin Mens Shoes Sale and a member of the deranged Bloomsbury group
of interWorld War British pacifists. He was an arrogant theorist who truly
believed in the magical elixir of large government and in the technocratic dream
of controlling billions of personal, business and economic decisions, to
programmatically construct a perfect world order. Keynes gave intellect and
jargon filled cover and rationale to politicians and demagogues who would cite
his book, 'The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money', to justify
state interventionism.
According to this theory which has failed in practice every time it has been
tried, governments can stimulate an economy through granting consumers, workers
and businesses sums of borrowed money. This is termed a 'stimulus'. Cheap
Christian Louboutin Shoes This debt or current deficit financing
stimulus, is then paid back or retired, when the economy strengthened by
consumer spending and business investment, produces a surplus of tax revenues.
The stimulus is needed, so argued Keynes, to overcome business cycles, downturns
and unexpected events which would decrease jobs, increase unemployment and
impact state revenues. By macro and micromanaging economic and production
processes, the state, so thought Keynes, would avoid cyclical variations and
ensure that the lowest level of unemployment could be maintained. Government
power was thus indispensable to full employment and income equality.
There are many problems with such a counterrational plan to economic
management. None of Keynes' core assumptions make sense when they are Christian
Louboutin High Pumps Outletanalysed either separately or together.
Business cycles have historically been caused by governments, and they are
usually a response to government policies to increase the size of the state
through trade barriers, higher taxation, more spending, more regulation and
programs of fear and compliance. The Great Depression, the 70s Stagflation and
the current financial crisis are all obvious examples of this fact. Government
causing economic malaise would appear to mean that government programs are Christian
Louboutin Boots Sale not the solutions required to either get out of an
economic downturn, nor to prevent future derailments from taking place.
The main impact of Keynesian economic stimuli is to increase debt; raise
future tax rates and distort the normal functionings of economic markets and
personal http://www.christianlouboutinus.com/ and corporate
decision making. Governments choose winners and confirm losers. The winners will
include companies which get bailed Christian
Louboutin Sandal Flats out, those receiving welfare, unions and others
having their jobs protected, those receiving redistributed incomes and those
paid off for political support. The losers invariably include firms both
domestic and international who want fair and free trade; higher income families;
small businesses who are classified under high income categories; future
generations who must pay off the debt; and consumers who pay a higher costs for
all products and services.
Under Keynesian philosophy, government and technocrats assume the role of
God. Given the poverty of God heads Christian
Louboutin Outlet Online throughout history, this is probably Christian
Louboutin Platform Shoesnot a noble supposition to support.
Brian Reidl from Heritage Institute wrong an excellent article recently on
the fallacy that Christian Louboutin
Outlet government spending, or what is termed Keynesian deficit
spending, run by Godheads, is beneficial (see Reidl"Government cannot create new
purchasing power out of thin air. If Congress funds new spending with taxes, it
is simply redistributing existing income. If Congress instead borrows the money
from domestic investors, those investors will have that much less to invest or
to spend in the private economy. If Congress borrows the money from foreigners,
the balance of payments will adjust by equally reducing net exports, leaving GDP
unchanged. Every dollar Congress spends must first come from somewhere else.
