Subject: [Futurework] Industrial Keynes
From time to time I've said unkind things about Maynard Keynes (although
kind things, too) and on at least one occasion, probably, have said
something untrue. 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.
