It's an interesting subject you...Hey Animator,<br /><br />It's an interesting subject you bring up. In 1919, Keynes wrote:<br /><br />"The power to become habituated to his surroundings is a marked characteristic of mankind. Very few of us realise with conviction the intensely unusual, unstable, complicated, unreliable, temporary nature of the economic organisation by which Western Europe has lived for the last half-century. We assume some of the most peculiar and temporary of our late advantages as natural, permanent, and to be depended on, and we lay our plans accordingly. On this sandy and false foundation we scheme for social improvement and dress our political platforms, pursue our animosities and particular ambitions, and feel ourselves with enough margin in hand to foster, not assuage, civil conflict in the European family."<br /><br />Keynes said this at a time when such a feeling should have been at a low ebb, just after WWI in Paris. In a few months from when he writes this, COMINTERN will be incorporated and Mussolini will found the Fascist party. Yet, he writes truly that few in Britain and the United States felt electrified and politicized. Perhaps it always feels that truly political action is unreal and distant, until the riots in the street get beyond control...<br /><br />But perhaps that is giving young people too much. I am wishy-washy.<br /><br />I have started a new blog:<br /><br />http://stochastictalk.blogspot.com/<br /><br />Hope to see you there!Mr. Trombleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06854144365264948518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7170007670756935047.post-10826907005242439802014-07-09T18:10:27.326+01:002014-07-09T18:10:27.326+01:00Hey vato,
