An economy is based on every person individually making choices based on their own (perhaps narrow) view of money. The Keynesian view of economics requires that there is centralized control of monetary policy. In an economy where there exist no overlords who can dictate what people can do with their own money, then people are free to act purely in their own self interest, and they will.

Of course they don't think that way. Keynes gave them the gift that keeps giving. Wouldn't want to throw that away.

You are welcome to think that it won't succeed based on this. Be my guest.

Now I genuinely think you forgot to take your meds.
