Hayek om Keynes
Ekonomipristagaren F. A. Hayek om John Maynard Keynes:
He was one of the cleverest men I knew, but he was not really a very competent economist at all. He had strong intuitions, which sometimes were right, and the strong conviction that he could put over any theory that he invented to justify his particular recommendations. He was a very great man, but I don’t think he was a great economist.
Även Bertrand Russell fann Keynes mycket smart — vilket glädjer en keynesian — men tydligen räcker det inte med att vara smart för att vara en stor nationalekonom.
