The Great Depression proved the strength of Keynesian economics.
I have no problem liking my politicians strictly adhering to economic theories that have been proven more in line with reality than any alternative, the same way that I like them to strictly adhere to belief in the theory of evolution.
Didn’t World War II really end the Great Depression?
