The Ideology of Keynes There is a certain degree of irony in considering the iconic figure that Keynes has become. For a man who was so thoroughly iconoclastic, rejecting established ideologies always in favor of his own, that he has become nearly synonymous with a mode of government or at least a school of economic thought, seems to be the richest sort of irony. In his Essays in Pursuasion, Keynes wrote the short piece “Am I a Liberal?” that took on the established political system of the time

M. Friedman and J.M. Keynes were the most influential economists of the 20th century. Since Friedman spent much of his intellectual energy attacking the legacy of Keynes it is natural to consider them opposites. Their differences were certainly thoughtful and so was what they shared. The interesting part was that they neither won nor neither lost. Today's policy conventions are a mixture of their two approaches. Yet both have won in the most important sense. Over the past two decades a world of fiat

1. Keynes and Hayek each approach the economy from a different perspective. In Keynes’ estimation, it is all about the flow of money. The economy is improving when money is moving, and thus, stability is achieved as much as is possible. Consequently, spending, and more specifically government spending, is the key to unlock the door blocking economic growth. By contrast, Hayek contends that money is not everything. What the money is used for, whether it be saved, invested, loaned, or spent, also plays
