End of the Era of Keynes?

End of the Era of Keynes?

A famous Norwegian dramatist has said: a theory lasts for thirty years. If this is true, then the year 1966 would be not only the thirtieth year since the birth of Keynes’ General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money, but also the year of its death. It could then be shown that what is generally understood by “Keynesianism” does not involve a change in the evolutionary trend of economic doctrines, especially of monetary theories. Doctrinally, “Keynesianism” would have to be regarded merely as a recent, one-way swing of the pendulum such as the world has often experienced before this time in the direction of distinct overvaluation of the possibilities and effects of monetary manipulations and alterations.

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
