John Maynard Keynes (pronounced Kens... like... I have 3 Barbies and 2 Kens - that's not true, I have only 1 Ken because I'm not very fond of playing with boy dolls... I prefer "action" figures).
His theories of economics when in practice are called Keynesian Economics... A person who applies these principles would be labled a Keynesian (remember, Kens, not Key-knees... Kens-ian...). When applied to a certain person it may sound similar to labeling that person a Kenyan... This is a slideshow that I found from the slideshow we were requested to watch... good stuff.
Now, with an understanding of Keyensian economics - see this fun clip:
I think Obama is a Keynesian... I'm not exactly sure he's not a socialist though... But I wonder how "we the people" feel about any basic economic principle... Aren't they all the principle of manipulating the public so that the Nation can regulate and gain wealth off of the people (sure, for the good of the people, right? - maybe...) But what about when the people choose a new model?
What will happen when/if the social movement turns economics from a model of goods and services for a price to a model of goods and services to be shared by all? This is the dream of socialism, but religiously speaking I see on major flaw to Socialism... The will of the people! Socialists choose (hopefully by majority) to force the entirety into socialism... But this forces people to flow in all of the "negative" streams provided by the socialist strategy... (Keynesian economics has similar problems - Hello, Govt. Job... I do litteraly get paid here to do nothing.) But in a true commonwealth (or whatever - call it the Order if you want), ALL (which means more than 99.0%) choose to give of thier substance and talents to the whole.
While the models are not exactly that simple - an exchange,if not solely monitary, is made - our digital economics are pushing in that direction much more persuasively than Big (black) Brother (okay, I know - that was racist... sue me... no, don't actually sue me, I... nevermind.). What will that mean for how our Government tries to control National Economics in the future?
