My feelings about Das Kapital are the same as my feeling about Koran. (...)
How could either of these books carry fire and sword round half the world?
John Maynard Keynes
By a coincidence he was born in 1883, in the very year that Karl Marx died. But
the two economists, who thus touched each other in time, although each was to
exert the profoundest influence on the philosophy of the capitalist system,
could hardly have differed from each other more. Marx was bitter, at bay, heavy
and disappointed; as we know, he was the draftsman of Capitalism Doomed. Keynes
loved life and sailed through it buoyant, at ease, and consummately successful,
to become architect of Capitalism Viable.
Robert L. Heilbroner
... he shows you how far a man can go who has absolutely no intelligence
whatever.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
