How is the economist Keynesian?

• zzzmarcus 17y ago
  This isn't definitive, but search economist.com using Google for the following: Keynes - 1640 results Adam Smith || John Stuart Mill (classical economics) - 992 Hayek || Milton Friedman (Chicago school economics) - 858 Mises (Austrian economics) - 431 Of course it's better to read it and form an opinion from the actual content for yourself but I think these results are fairly indicative.

    You realize, of course, if I ran a website criticizing something it would show a lot of hits for that thing right? Quantity alone doesn't tell us much here.

      Sure, which is why I qualified those results by saying they're not definitive. I have read The Economist, come to my own conclusions (that the publication is strongly Keynesian) and thought it would be interesting to see if that bias showed up in a simple search for Keynes' name. Turns out it did.
