Forbes adds Hunter Lewis to its list of Business Visionaries in a new interview about his new book, Where Keynes Went Wrong: And Why World Governments Keep Creating Inflation, Bubbles, and Busts. In this interview, Lewis describes Keynesianism as an intellectual bubble, but also an easy doctrine for politicians. In a crash, Keynesian remedies include printing money, stimulus and bailouts to achieve economic recovery, policy prescriptions that appeal to politicians, who are very short-term oriented.
Lewis’s much praised 2007 book, Are the Rich Necessary?, was written in a lively, stimulating, and transparently clear style. In Where Keynes Went Wrong (WhereKeynesWentWrong.com), Hunter Lewis reveals the folly of creating policy based on untested economic theories of the past, and instead asks us to question the economic arguments that are shaping our future.
