The return of Keynesian influence
Geoff Riley
4th October 2009
This excellent four minute BBC news video looks at the return of Keynesian policy ideas. Peter Clarke and Robert Skidelsky spoke to BBC News about how they believe his economic philosophy is continuing to influence today’s political scene. We hear that Keynes was an early day short-seller and a currency speculator but that markets can fail because of deep uncertainties or weak animal spirits about the future.
