John Maynard Keynes: Mathematician, Investor, and Economist

This Sunday, September 29, marks the birthday of Ludwig von Mises, and all fall campaign donations will be doubled in celebration. Join us! https://Mises.org/mi5 John Maynard Keynes was an English “economist” who spawned a revolution in economic thinking that emerged out of a cesspool of socialist thinking in Britain, creating a title wave of anti-economics that overwhelmed and dominated the economics profession worldwide, known as Keynesian economics. His experience as an investor is very instructive of his mindset—and the unfortunate revolution that he brought to the world. Follow Minor Issues at https://Mises.org/MinorIssues.

New “Engels” on Marx | David Gordon

It is understood that Marx's theories stand entirely upon his Labor Theory of Value. If that theory is discredited, so is the scenario that leads to the inevitable triumph of communism. That fact, however, doesn't stop Marx's disciples from employing other fallacies. Narrated by Millian Quinteros.
