Keynesianism Part I - It's All About Spending
Is our prosperity derived from a continual circular flow of spending? Is it impossible for a society to increase it's total savings? Can deficit spending by a government step in to replace private activity in order to maintain full employment and restore lasting economic growth? What is a liquidity trap and what does it mean for the economy? What did Keynes really mean by "in the long run, we're all dead"? In this EconStories mini-documentary, we explore the foundations of Keynesian economics with Keynes most famed biography, Lord Robert Skidelsky. In the next episode, we'll dig deeper into some of the most controversial aspects of Keynesianism including the notion that ditch digging or world war could provide a pathway to economic recovery and prosperity.
Keynesian Economics Is Wrong: Bigger Gov't Is Not Stimulus
Based on a theory known as Keynesianism, politicians are resuscitating the notion that more government spending can stimulate an economy. This mini-documentary produced by the Center for Freedom and Prosperity Foundation examines both theory and evidence and finds that allowing politicians to spend more money is not a recipe for better economic performance.
Maynard's Revenge: Keynesianism and the Crisis
Google Tech Talk February 16, 2010 ABSTRACT Presented by Lance Taylor, Arnhold Professor of International Cooperation and Development at the New School for Social Research. Historically, financial crises have been commonplace. Over the past two decades the sector has staged the 1987 stock market crash, the Mexican crisis, the Asian crisis, Enron, the LTCM collapse, the end of the internet bubble, and 2007-09. Why did the latest episode almost derail the world economy? The macroeconomics developed by John Maynard Keynes and his close followers provides the only plausible set of answers, including rising income inequality which spilled over into debt accumulation at the same time as household consumption rose, low real interest rates, massive expansion of financial assets and liabilities as investors borrowed heavily (increased leverage) to buy assets with rising prices, and an ample supply of imports and capital inflows from the rest of the world. In an accommodating political economic environment these factors linked the real and financial sides of the economy to create the crisis.
Keynesian Economics Is Wrong: Economic Growth Causes Consumer Spending, Not the Other Way Around
Politicians and journalists who fixate on consumer spending are putting the cart before the horse. Consumer spending generally is a consequence of growth, not the cause of growth. This Center for Freedom and Prosperity video helps explain how to achieve more prosperity by looking at the differences between gross domestic product and gross domestic income. www.freedomandprosperity.org

Keynesianism v Monetarism
An excellent video on the differences between the two main schools of economics: Keynesianism and Monetarism. At stake is the role of the government, the unfettered faith in free markets and the challenge of achieving an acceptable level of employment against inflation. Originally uploaded by pajholden
Big Government Is Not Stimulus: Why Keynes Was Wrong (The Condensed Version)
The CF&P Foundation has released a condensed version of our successful mini-documentary explaining why so-called stimulus schemes do not work. Based on a theory known as Keynesianism, politicians are resuscitating the notion that more government spending can stimulate an economy. This mini-documentary produced by the Center for Freedom and Prosperity Foundation examines both theory and evidence and finds that allowing politicians to spend more money is not a recipe for better economic performance.

Lew Rockwell on "Crazy Keynesianism" and the Police State
Occupy Wall Street after spreading across the country over the last 60 days, in protest of inequality and bank bailouts, to name a few issues, has seen a crackdown. Zuccotti Park, home of Occupy Wall Street was cleared out early this morning by riot police. Yesterday, hundreds of police in riot gear dismantled Occupy Oakland camp, arresting protesters. As for the movement, it continues as protesters march on in New York and in Northern California on the campus of UC Berkeley. As for the response from authorities, if you were an investor, would you wish you could go long police raids? Well we're pretty sure you can't, so who stands to benefit from this? We speak to Lew Rockwell, chairman of the Ludwig von Mises Institute. To watch more visit us @ www.youtube.com
Ron Paul: Keynesianism Delivers a Decade of Zero
www.house.gov CampaignForLiberty This past week we celebrated the end of what most people agree was a decade best forgotten. New York Times columnist and leading Keynesian economist Paul Krugman called it the Big Zero in a recent column. He wrote that there was a whole lot of nothing going on in measures of economic progress or success which is true. However, Krugman continues to misleadingly blame the free market and supposed lack of regulation for the economic chaos. It was encouraging that he admitted that blowing economic bubbles is a mistake, especially considering he himself advocated creating a housing bubble as a way to alleviate the hangover from the dotcom bust. But we can no longer afford to give prominent economists like Krugman a pass when they completely ignore the burden of taxation, monetary policy, and excessive regulation. Afterall, Krugman is still scratching his head as to why no economists saw the housing bust coming. How in the world did they miss it? Actually many economists saw it coming a mile away, understood it perfectly, and explained it many times. Policy makers would have been wise to heed the warnings of the Austrian economists, and must start listening to their teachings if they want solid progress in the future. If not, the necessary correction is going to take a very long time. The Austrian free-market economists use common sense principles. You cannot spend your way out of a recession. You cannot regulate the economy into oblivion and ...

Keynesian vs. Austrian Economics - STAND TALL - STAND FOR RON PAUL - LET MRKTS CORRECT
Cometh the Brokered Convention!! Stronger than any Media Empire!! Join the intellectual R3Volution. Keynesianism Fails (the flawed Economic model guarantees the finding that governmental stimulus, under every circumstance, creates growth and jobs). Model fails whether employed by R's or D's? An Idea Whose Time Has Come Cannot be Stopped: Keynesian Fail, Strips Liberty. The Purpose of Government is to Protect Liberty, and little else. FA Hayek, "the Austrian-born free-market economist, . . . suggested that high taxation would be a 'road to serfdom,' a threat to freedom itself." There is now, however, "a rich empirical record to judge [this] scientifically." Ron Paul | 2012

Leo Panitch - should we do Austerity or Keynesianism
14 Dec 2010 TheRealNews [What to do about the crisis? We are told either austerity measures (cut the debt, cut the deficit) or government stimulus measures. Are these really the only two strategies?] Neither austerity measures nor Keynesianism will solve the problem. The very large stimulus that the Obama administration undertook has not had the effects of reducing unemployment that was hoped for. It may have kept economic growth about 1% above what it would have been [!] but it hasn't had the effect that was hoped for. At best it was offsetting the cutting that states in the union were doing as they faced enormous fiscal problems and problems of rolling over their debt. So the cutbacks were being offset by money passed to states by the federal government. That was common in the Great Depression -- the positive fiscal stimulus was also zero back then. The only way you can really address the unemployment in the United States is by employing people directly. That was the aspect of the New Deal and the War that got the United States out of the Great Depression. If spending doesn't go to employment the programs will not help. But rationally it should help because it should go towards the building of infrastructure. This is desperately needed in the United States, it is a long term asset [Amazing]

Malthus: originator of military Keynesianism?
David Ricardo believed in Say's Law, that supply creates its own demand. Thomas Malthus believed that the wealthy would be producers all right, but that they wouldn't demand goods or services from all their money and instead save it up. For Malthus, this was a problem. Apparently, he didn't understand that capital comes from savings, and there will be demand for the savings of the rich producers by small entrepreneurs, and the price they would pay to have access to this capital is paying interest. That is, after all, what rich people want - a return on their savings. They don't usually stuff their money under a mattress and guard it with a shotgun. Anyway, Malthus proposed "unproductive consumption" like having a war in order to pump up demand, making sure that everything that was produced would be consumed. This sounds a lot like the Keynesian belief that "war is good for the economy". If so, why not skip the war altogether and just build an aircraft carrier, sail it out to sea, sink it to the bottom of the ocean, and repeat as the economy gets better and better? The entire notion that war is good for the economy is of course absurd. Would you rather have an economy that produces military hardware that will be destroyed, or would you prefer an economy where capital is used by entrepreneurs to create consumer goods like iPods, mobile phones, laptops, Playstations, high defininition TVs, stereos, and automobiles?
Keynesianism and Special Interest Groups
Keynesian policies create new political lobbies. Even if we could stimulate the economy out of the recession, Keynesian programs would still have negative consequences for our political institutions.
The Phillips Curve, Stagflation, the 1970's, and Keynesian Economics
Information on the money supply in the 1970's: www.marketoracle.co.uk It should also be noted that velocity didn't significantly change, which lends further credibility to Keynesianism not being falsified. This is because velocity being stable implies that there wasn't a move in aggregate demand. More examples of supply shocks: en.wikipedia.org
Steve Keen Educates Economic Illiterate Peter Schiff On What 'Keynesianism' Really Is
Of course, Peter doesn't have a clue what Keynesian theory is all about - he just knows it has something to do with Government spending so therefore to him - its bad. Luckily, there are knowledgeable economists such as Steve Keen who are willing to publicly set the record straight. This goes for all the nincompoops who write to this account every day with "You are a Keynesian" emails. Get an education together with your cult master Peter Schiff and don't pollute the world any more with your ignorance.

Keynesianism in Context
Alex Merced puts Keynesian ecnomics in the context it was first formulated, to form and economic framework for developing policies for the purpose of maintaining perpetual full employment. While it doesn't neccessarily achieve this, in the context a lot of Keynesian rhetoric begins to make sense so much as to why they may believe it.

Did Keynesian Economics Win the Battle of Ideas? | Peter G. Klein
Lecture presented by Peter G. Klein at the Ludwig von Mises Institute's "The Birth and Death of the Fed" conference, held at Jekyll Island, Georgia; 26-27 February 2010. mises.org The Federal Reserve has had long enough to demonstrate its use to the American economy. The latest economic crisis alone is enough to discredit its claims as the great stabilizer. There is the long history of devastating inflation, the government spending it funds, the wars and welfare that are made possible by its printing presses, and also the conflicts of interest and corruptions it introduces into public life. We can do without the central bank. We don't need the Fed. Our money and our future would be more assured without it. In this conference, the Mises Institute returns to the founding home of the Fed, cobbled together in secret at the Jekyll Island Resort in Georgia, under the guise of a "duck hunting expedition."
