Keynes: socialist, liberal or conservative? — Michael Roberts

Summary:
Interesting post. Michael Roberts argues that Keynes was all three–socialist, liberal and conservative at different times. But owing to his social status, Keynes was fundamentally a British upper-class conservative, or in Marxian terminology, a "bourgeois liberal." However, he was not hidebound and also had a sense of reality that made him open to accommodate changing circumstances.Michael Roberts BlogKeynes: socialist, liberal or conservative?
