User:Maynardophile

Maynardophile is interested primarily in Economics. I chose that pseudonym because I am a great fan of John Maynard Keynes and because I would not really describe myself as a Keynesian, as that term has come to be known. Basically I think that the brilliance of Keynes’s analysis is in how he shows that markets (particularly those of monetary economies) are not inherently stable and that the government and monetary authorities have a duty to stabilise these markets at times of crisis. Although criticised by Classical Economists and Monetarist for being anti-capitalist, I think that his work was instrumental in stabilising markets at a time when they most needed it, and hence was very pro-free market.
