Found a book at my mother’s house, a couple of chapters in, Marx, Ricardo and Malthus have already been covered, the questions raise on micro economics are fascinating.

Can’t help feeling there are some parallels between Keynes and Epstein, how someone rises to such a high level of power, connected to so many powerful people from a very low level. He appeared to be a smart guy (academically), but his ideas certainly met fertile ground with the post crash years (1930s), so may have been something to do with politicians hearing ideas that gave them power.

Epstein on the other hand, had a whole lot of dirty laundry to blackmail people, but also found people who were deprieqved and would do his bidding to keep their secrets out of the public light.

Really interested in explore Keynes a little more, but maybe go for “unapproved” biographies, doubt many will include the “bed and boy” line that nostr:nprofile1qqsyx708d0a8d2qt3ku75avjz8vshvlx0v3q97ygpnz0tllzqegxrtgprpmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctvqy28wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytn00p68ytnyv4mqea0kvm included.
