Review
"Just what the world needs, and just in time. Keynes is demolished and his quack system refuted. But this wonderful book does more. It restores clear thinking and common sense to their rightful places in the economic policy debate. Three cheers for Hunter Lewis!" -- James Grant (Editor of Grant's Interest Rate Observer) "![An] impassioned!and!much needed book." --Gene Epstein (Barron's)

Product Description
In responding to the financial crash of 2008, both the Bush Administration and the Obama Administration have relied on prescriptions developed by John Maynard Keynes, the most important economist since Marx. But should we be relying on Keynes? What did Keynes actually say? Did he make his case? Hunter Lewis concludes that he did not. If Keynes was wrong then so are the economic policies of virtually all world governments today.

A quite outstanding contribution. As governments footle and pretend to have solutions to the continuing economic depression, they assert that their ideas are based on those of Keynes. Unfortunately, even though his work forms the basis for almost all economics university courses, he was wrong!
This book sets out why, in a readily accessible style and form, also putting Keynes into the context of other, often neglected, thinkers.
A must for both students and the educated layman.

Very disapointing and boring. I was looking forward to an insight into Keynes' shortcomings, but if one of them is that he fails to demonstrate his assertions, so does Hunter Lewis; and he does not come up with and demonstrate any alternative either! Just saying that Keynes is wrong is not good enough. Now I have to read Keynes and make up my own mind.

I couldn't finish this. It was rather irritating to read because of some annoying typographical devices. It seemed to ramble on with lots of snippets (even if many made sense). Although I learnt quite a lot about Keynes sayings and suggestions, in the end I didn't understand what the author was proposing instead.
