Re: More stick poking and uselessly verbose prose

I agree with you 100%.

It was this that I took umbrage with: "the bourgeoisie and the intelligentsia, who with all their faults, are the quality of life and surely carry the seeds of all human achievement?"

More than anything it kinda shocked me, because I didn't really expect Keynes to be like that. Then again, I never followed him. I mostly knew about his theories as a sort of impetus for FDR style programs (though, even that, apparently, was wrong, as he didn't really directly influence FDR, if Wikipedia is right).

Yeah, USSR is 100-ways kind of fucked up. I've got a copy of Rising Up Rising Down (http://www.amazon.com/Rising-Up-Down-Set/dp/1932416021) where the author discusses Kulaks and the Soviet persecution of them. I really should finish that damn set. Ever hear of it? I recommend it.
