Mark Skousen

In the long run Keynes may be dead, but in the short run he lives on in the halls of government, the classrooms of academia, and the boardrooms of big business. The purpose of this provocative collection of papers is to begin the expulsion, once and for all, of John Maynard Keynes from these institutions.
