Harry Potter was released 75 years ago.

And there were long lines of children waiting outside the bookshop during early morning hours back then.

Just replace “Harry Potter” with “General Theory”, however.

Now - what is your favourite part of General Theory? Was it his attack on Ricardian equivalence? His commentaries on Say’s Law? Discuss.

Who’s trying to push this myth that free market policies were attempted during the great depression? That’s just beyond ridiculous.

A lot of progressives take pride in the Progressive Era in US of the 1900s which they say brought activist government and ended laissez faire in America.

And then the same people say that the Great Depression was first marked by non-interventionist policies by a laissez faire government.

But even I digress. This topic is about General Theory only.

Don’t insult Harry Potter, it makes lots of people happy, keynesianism on the other hand…

I disagree, both books make happy those who believe in fairy tales.

Harry Potter is cheaper entertainment though.

Seriously, change your title, as this seems to have little to do with Harry Potter.

Does that make Hayek actually Lord Voldemort?

… fitting

Don’t forget, in Harry Potter, the wizarding world uses gold and silver for money and has 100% private banking :stuck_out_tongue:

Yes Epicurus, and Lionel Robbins is Salvador Snape, the Slitherin who was expected to side with the evil malicious liquidationists of Hayek Voldemort but went with John Maynard Potter instead.

Wait.. is Marx Dumbledore?
