Here we are 20 years into the 21st century, and Our Bumbling Mudede still hasn't heard of "dividends" (which mean stocks are placements) or Paul Krugman (a C-list Hollywood star with a very popular blog, which mentions Keynes more than just "on the regular").

"Now, how can I be certain that Gates is reading my posts about economics? Because there is almost no other writer in the nation, let alone in Seattle (where Gates lives), who mentions the greatest economist after Karl Marx—John Maynard Keynes—on the regular."

Charles, run a Google search for news items containing the term "John Maynard Keynes." Then do the same thing for blogs. Although you do randomly name-drop him surprisingly often, you aren't even in the top tier when it comes to frequency.

Or maybe he just read Heilbroner's "The Worldly Philosophers" in high school, like me...

The only John Maynard Keynes quote from him I can remember is;
"In the long run, we are all dead!"

Jeez, Charles Mudede includes an entertaining headline so people can swallow an article about economics, and commenters just complain about the plausibility of the headline. Do you all only eat plain oatmeal for breakfast?

Expanding on @3, you might want to start your search with Bill Gates' own blog, Charles:

Fuck Bill Gates. He was all wrapped up with Epstien because "Epstien knew a lot of rich people that could donate to charity". Lame excuse, as if a rich person wouldn't break there own arm trying to answer the phone if Bill called.

One way to build two railways from London to York, as it were, is to build in planned obsolescence, either materially (shoddy manufacture requiring replacement), or by manufacturing abdemand for change. I'm not sure which of these the Kingdome/whatever-the-hell-the-new-one-is-called falls under, but the analogy stands, i think.

Two sequential, instead of simultaneous, stadia. That has the added benefits of rising construction costs, and public amnesia.

Sound economic advice

@6 Hey now, oatmeal is a lovely breakfast, especially once the weather turns brisk.

And it's a lot easier to swallow than anything Our Bumbling Mudede writes about economics.

James Callaghan buried Keynes at the Labour party conference in Brighton in 1976. Know your history Charles. It’s the day socialism died in Europe:

Bathroom reading.

We discuss it all the time at the sushi teriyaki shop and the donut shop when he's here.

so... the premise is that "society" is "satiated". You substituted "over-developed" for "satiated". It seems pretty meaningless, since when have the desires of humans ever become satiated? And "over-developed" means there's some optimum development, over which is too much. That, too, is nonsense. I guess I'm not convinced.

"Now, how can I be certain that Gates is reading my posts about economics? Because there is almost no other writer in the nation, let alone in Seattle (where Gates lives), who mentions the greatest economist after Karl Marx—John Maynard Keynes—on the regular."

Love ya Charles but have you never heard of this guy Paul Krugman?
