Before I ever read Keynes' General Theory, I read a Marxist criticism of it, which largely shaped my approach to his work. It was Geoffrey Pillings' "The Crisis of Keynesian Economics: A Marxist View (1986)" One of the assertions in that work is that Keynes was a very skilled econometrist

His work was so recent I'd thought perhaps to contact him, but he has become his audience I'm afraid. I strongly encourage reading his book The Crisis of Keynesian Economics. Its decidedly political undertones are geared to operate from a humanitarian perspective in our contemporary context, and

I do not disagree with you. I used the term zero entrepreneurial profit, however, within the context of hypothetical dynamic stasis. It is unrelated to reality directly, but is nonetheless a step toward building a conceptual model that will help us make sense of reality. Entrepreneurial

The problem is and has always been the confusion between Christian principles which may be embodied in other faiths, and religious beliefs. Social Credit or rather Douglas referred to Religion as meaning, to bind back taken from its original etymology. He went futher to add two more words to

Can anyone explain to me how profits can be distributed as income before a sale is made (price is met)? If there is insufficient purchasing power to provide effective demand, i.e. meet the prices generated in the same period of production which price includes profit, no sale can occur. If a
