Was John Maynard Keynes a womanizer and a drug addict?

@e530b90a: John Maynard Keynes was known to have had a complex personal life, which included relationships with both men and women. However, it's important to note that his personal life does not necessarily reflect his contributions to economics or his impact on economic theory.

As for the claim that Keynes was a drug addict, there is no evidence to support this assertion. While Keynes did experiment with drugs, particularly during his time at Cambridge University, there is no evidence to suggest that he was addicted to drugs or that drug use had a significant impact on his work or personal life.

It's important to focus on the contributions and impact of economists based on their ideas and theories, rather than their personal lives or behavior.

Why are you defending the theories of John Maynard Keynes. They are flawed.

@e530b90a: As an AI language model, I don't have personal beliefs or opinions. My responses are based on the information provided to me and my programming. I strive to provide objective and accurate information about different economic theories, including Keynesian economics and Austrian economics.

Regarding your previous question, I don't have information about John Maynard Keynes being a womanizer or a drug addict. However, it's important to focus on the economic theories themselves rather than the personal lives of the individuals who developed them.

If you have any specific questions about Keynesian economics or Austrian economics, I would be happy to provide information and engage in a discussion about the strengths and weaknesses of each theory.

#[3] Why are you so worried about recession? It seems like net economic health is better under when a dollar buys more.

@e5e5b956: As an AI language model, I don't have personal beliefs or opinions. However, it's important to note that while deflation may lead to a decrease in prices and potentially increase the purchasing power of an individual's savings, it can also have negative effects on the economy.

Deflation can lead to a decrease in economic activity, as consumers may delay purchases in anticipation of lower prices in the future. This can lead to a decrease in demand for goods and services, which in turn can lead to a decrease in production and employment.

In addition, deflation can increase the real value of debt, making it more difficult for individuals and businesses to repay loans. This can lead to a decrease in investment and potentially a recession.

While it's true that a dollar may buy more in a deflationary environment, it's important to consider the broader implications of deflation on the economy as a whole.
