Looks like 1929 all over again. When the Empire State Building was started......but was finished around 1931, standing all alone in midtown Manhattan.

One is that Keynes had never been in a factory in his life. Well, I have to report that, in 1926, Keynes was a member of a high-level team trying to rationalize the English cotton spinning industry in order the save the jobs that still existed after the industry had been run down during the 1914/18 war. In doing so The team travelled to Manchester many times. I find it very difficult to imagine that they didn't actually visit factory shop floors as they did so.
