The Death of Keynes

The Cardinal Rules of Democracy 
& Employment for a Digital Age

 

John Maynard Keynes is considered by many, as one of the greatest thinkers of the 20^th century.  A descendant of Norman conquering feudalists, at Eton he traced his ancestors thus far.  Born in 1883, at a time when the sun never set on the British Empire and Britain was in an empirical age of Splendid Isolation, he studied mathematics at Cambridge, where he was advised to study economics.  He became iconic in an age of Georgian reinvention.  Females were allowed to study at Cambridge, the Suffragette movement was in militant full swing and the Bloomsbury sect was the cultural hub of the classical thinkers and politicians of the time.  Virginia Wolfe and Lady Ottoline Morrell were just two of those who challenged the established views on anything from female suffrage and the British Empire.  Keynes became a member of this iconoclastic movement in 1902.  

 

At this time the United States and Japan were both advancing, a little spoken of the Second Industrial Revolution.  Whereas Britain had started the first one, based on steam, engines and mass production, the USA and the Empire of Japan put their stamp on the second one.  With Japan abandoning feudalism for Iron and Steel mass shipbuilding, the United States blazed a trail with the transcontinental railroad and good American ingenuity methods, which defines business culture, to this day.  The UK signed at that time the entente cordial with France, whilst holy Russia and the Empire of Japan were having naval Battles on the high seas.  Britain was laying a telephone cable to the USA, whilst British soldiers returning from the Boer war, were defined in the commons as malnourished.   Queen Victoria had died and the trade union movement put some of their leaders in the House of Commons, to form the Labour Party.

 

John Maynard Keynes' 'Theory of Unemployment,' was indeed the greatest piece of literature on economic fundamentals, since the great Adam Smith published, ‘The Wealth of Nations in 1776.  Having read The Wealth of Nations and the biography of Keynes, both books are very different.  Whilst the Wealth of Nations peered into the hot topical issues of the Corn Laws and Slavery, John Maynard Keynes's principles of micro and macroeconomics are protocols relevant in the pre and post-war age, as they deal with issues such as aggregate supply and demand.  

As an advisor to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Winston Churchill, Keynes spoke candidly to him about not returning to the gold standard because, though it would cheapen the cost of the British Empire, it would make British goods non-competitive on the international markets.  Churchill stubbornly reintroduced gold, thus causing mayhem everywhere Britain had export markets.  Keynes' views on international economics, were vital for post-war blitzed Britain’s survival when he secured American post-war loans, which allowed early life to William Beverage’s Cradle to Grave report, which pragmatized Aneurin Bevan's White paper, until the more generous Marshall Plan, bolstered the UK and made American president Harry S. Truman's endeavoured western iconic doctrine of containment, of a constant moving scope of Warsaw Pact tangibility.

  

After the war the computer was similar to that of today’s pocket calculator, to crunch numbers for the United States Army.  Although it could not perform all of the operations of today’s pocket calculator, it was so big that it was stored in a very big room.  It was advanced during the Cold War, by NATO to contrast capitalism and Western democratic paradox towards the Warsaw Pact.  They would get smaller, with names like IBM, Microsoft, Apple, Sinclair and Oracle advancing them.  Intel and AMD, made them more powerful, whilst Ronald Reagan’s Reaganomics and the Japanese, just-in-time business protocols, simultaneously advanced business practices, efficiently lowering economies of scale.   

 

When John F. Kennedy's 1960s mantra, 'We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard,' at Rice University in Houston, Texas our modern world was born.  With the fundamentals of the Cold War defining the space race, the moon, then seen as the Godly heavens, was no small task.  With the first man in space Yuri Gagarin and the first orbited satellite, Sputnik, both launched from Russia, J.FK knew that the survival of Western democracy and capitalism was the landing of a man on the moon. 

The reason our modernity was encapsulated by the rhetorical 'because they are hard,'  is not always obvious.   Mathematicians were then called human computers, as they defined computation, like those in Theodore Melfi's  'Hidden Figures.' So much computer programming was done to put man on the Sea of Tranquillity, that it pushed computer science forward by about sixty years.  After Neil Armstrong said, 'One Small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,' the computer remained in a much more advanced state, thus bolstering the advancement of the information and technological age.

Where before one had to be advanced in mathematics, and it was customary to use many people to laborious tasks, the computer made commercial enterprise more efficient and cost-competitive.   When Tim Berners-Lee, a British computer scientist created the World Wide Web in 1990, ubiquity defined utilizing information for competitive advantage.  As computers would become cheaper and more fashionable, this salient analogy that theoretically encompasses, the spider web of information capturing, signalled the beginning of the slow strangulation of Keynesian economics and its fundamentals of industrial society.  Has time moved forward, universities in the United States would allow their students to communicate through this new paradigm, thus defining our current age of autonomous data processing.  Everyday tasks as to how to bake a Victoria Sponge, how to buy a house or where to buy a concert ticket, for Michael Jackson’s upcoming concert, were now a la mode pragmatics.

 

Businesses, organizations, students, teachers and universities, all would stick information to the web, strangling Keynesian economics even further.  Many have not noticed this Informational Technological Age and have panicked when children downloaded MP3s. We will now analyse this attitude.  When the people of England lived in villages and tithed the barn, they would pay for their cottages with livestock, cloth or labour, by hook or by crook. Then when the revolution, of the Industrial Age spurred momentum, all was shocking to the system.  It was common for man, who picked apples for his horse and cart to transport them to London, to sell at Whitechapel or Southwark.  This practice became outmoded as the might of industrial Britain blazed a trail for people, to pick from the apple orchards of England and mass pile them for London, at a reduced cost.  This economies of scale put the man with the horse and cart out of business, to which family subsistence was of lower might to the mighty steel cart, which bellowed the smoke of neo-redemption.   

Millions of people would move to London, or Birmingham, Manchester, or Liverpool to work, at the new steam-propelled machines in the new buildings called factories.   Falling asleep from dusk till dawn hours would become an occupational hazard as machines ripped off arms; this was progress, this was England.  So with all of these new people living in cities, there was a need for revolutions such as a funded police, fire service, more hospitals and the like.  There was poor law, workhouse and the survival 'graft' living, that the great author Charles Dickens would epitomize in characters like Pip, Oliver and the Artful Dodger.  Jack the Ripper and Isambard Kingdom Brunel paradoxically defined newspaper headlines. 

 

Whitechapel murders cloaked with horror and woe, gave a voice to the frightened ladies of the night when they spoke to the readers of the Times. These terrified women were destitute mothers who lived in the horrid slums, of the less opulent Metropolis.  Brunel, on the contrary, offered light and progress, with the first Great Western from the south of England all the way to the passenger ship heading to the new world of the USA.  The Titanic advanced engineering and brash, from the proactive shipbuilders of Belfast and the Revolution was attained by the child, when the Liberal party advanced the Child Act, allowing all children to go to school.   

This revolution was like leaving the North Pole freezing death and arriving in sunny Texas, it would have been noticed.  The digital and information Age, on the contrary, would sustain the industrial age for years in small ways.  One would put one computer in the office, then two and then one day all of the typewriters would be put in a cupboard and replaced by word processors.  After a while, the filing cabinet would be put on a database package, by someone who studied it at college.  Whilst all of this was taking place, no one would notice, it would be as though they were buying a more modern typewriter.  Head offices would buy computers for their branches, and then private companies would need them to compete. 

Before a man would need to go to the library, write a letter to or even travel to another country to find information for research.  Alex Haley, whilst researching for his book Roots, travelled to the UK, to visit the correct institutions for the primary and secondary sources.  Today instead of booking a flight, he need only use the internet and have the information in seconds.  This defines the information technological age and makes everything more efficient.  The corporate mantra of this information age is, to utilize information for competitive advantage.  Nirvana is now advanced from QWERTY.

 

This fundamentally changed human existence in huge ways, thus bringing forward the hanging of Keynes.  Politicians in the UK government have panicked and defined those who have studied university courses, that teach one to utilize information for competitive advantage.   They are defined as geniuses, charlatans, terrorists and mavericks.  Instead of modernizing with the times, they have sought to just modernize homosexual philosophies and their radical doctrines.  They define their views of their sexual-orientated ideology, as modernism.  They have defined panic and terror across England’s green and pleasant land.  Before embracing the new, they fight for the old manual class-ridden employment.  This attitude would allow Britain to hang onto Keynes and Britannia instead would choke from the neck.  

As I studied B.A. Business Enterprise at Coventry University School of Business, utilizing information for competitive advantage is my forte.  I have since last year, protected myself from sex criminals in the UK and USA governments, who have preyed on my vulnerability with lewd and grotesque endeavours.  I created an online business worth more than three hundred million pounds, which fraudsters in Her Majesty's government embezzled, from me.  I have created employment for my UK kinsmen and brethren abroad and done more than the government could do, not because of being a genius, but because I am educated in a very modern way.  

Instead of the government embracing this Information Technological revolution as the dawning of utopia, they have threatened me with blindness, and terror, and want me to change my sexuality.   My previous blog explains all about that, but what I will do is identify why the government need to modernize or die.  Die is theoretical, not literal, but the death of progress is.

•  Respect for philosophic jurisprudence, for the information aged efficiency, where one can proactively assert information retrieval, and assimilation before utilization, as opposed to the log jam when one defines to the contrary.  When the acts were passed through the commons, there was a vote for the white paper, by a well-educated constituency represented members, on both sides of the house.  So the statutes in the speech, on the opening is not impulse but decree.

• Follow the constitutional protocols of jurisprudence and you will have more time to think about important things, which could actually help your constituents.  The people you attack can thus grow and benefit societal modernity, without fear of governmental-inspired terrorist attacks on the citizens of Rex or Regina

• Regardless of perspective of race, religion or your personal sexual orientated challenges, those are your subjectivity, as opposed to the ministerial code, of objectivity, constitutionality and Magna Carta. Stiff upper lip in the UK parliament, which is the Centuries old, British political cultural personification of ardent professionalism, and competence without emotion, whilst governing by decree

• If it is your opinion that a voter, whom you represent in parliament, is a Goliath, so long as he respects the laws of the land, he too must live in a civilised democratic society.  You cannot tyrannise every citizen you disagree with, without fighting the cities and shires you govern.  I know that previous British governments, of this country’s past, did things differently, some of which define the romanticism of the age.  The British taxpayer did not vote for the past; which they can happily choose to purchase online with Andrew Marrs DVD Box set.  Be confident enough to put your own stamp on things, within the statute codes that define our system.  Whether one likes one's way or not, one did it within the clearly defined rules and all one needs do, is vote for an alternative if one is found wanting.

• Stop fighting progress and modernity, for you don’t just stump the person, you limit society.  Telling a fully able and skilled entrepreneurial person that they must give up his freedom of expression, and rights is panicking and retreating from the centre ground, of the political spectrum.  

• This new age defined by Management guru, Peter Drucker as the ‘Knowledge Worker,’ makes it a prerequisite of society to be well-skilled and knowledgeable.  Without freedom and the knowledge worker, society is in full decline from the top table.   Forget about the British social class system, which only worked before the new Information Technological Age.  It then kept things structured, for the delegation of autonomy, now Modernise or Die, to the outmoded defined alamode hanging of Keynes.  I play with words here, as Keynesian economics is quite relevant in the system, such as quantitative easing, and the like.  I only use the great Keynes to define the endeavour to contrast nostalgia.  

This is the evolving British social class system and how it defined this country for two thousand years:

·       The Roman Empire colonised Britannia between AD 43 to AD 410, and it was a colony of the Roman Empire.  The Iceni led by Boudicca was, the then piece de resistance, which took up arms against Roman occupation.  When the Roman Legions exited this country centuries later, there was a dark age, Anglo-Saxons led the people then and protected them

·        In 1066, 'William the Bastard,' conquered and became the iconic 'William the Conqueror.'  To keep his hold on power he built castles and information processed, the livestock of the peasants in the (Doomsday Book).  He then put feudal lords to be their leaders, whom he made knights.  The knights would serve the king in battle.  This type of society was called feudalism.  In the Agricultural Age land barons would oversee the cottages who he would accept rent from.  This was still feudalism and would continue to tie the peasants to their land Barons

·        In the Industrial Age, bowler hat-wearing manufacturers defined industrial might.  The managers needed many flat cap factory workers, to create the output of production for the economies of scale.  Industrial British society flourished of the Financiers, whom the then philosophical, Das Kapital author, Karl Marx called the bourgeoisie, whilst being financially backed by Lancashire Textile industrialist, Friedrich Engels.  In a spirited way, this paper views his romantic integrity, to the bread-breaking proletariat brotherhood, as an ardent endeavour, from the Engels Guinea. 

     Capitalists, to whom Keynes would later call Marx Capitalist, an oxymoron in terminology, though fittingly apt for the doom of a tycoon's burst stock market bubble.  It then made perfect sense for the structured and organised class system, where labour and finance could be organised and measured against the past ledger accounts, for the ambition, growth and expansion, sometimes incremented by future venture capitalist, who needed to be confident about their return on investment.

·        In this Information Technological Age, it is ideal to get as many as possible, to be a knowledge worker.  Then it must be seen as counterproductive to have a class system, as it would push society to un-competitiveness.  Society could do class with culture, i.e. the gentlemen’s, club, the lady's tea parlour, the golf course, a spot of grouse shooting or bowls.  The decree must define the functionalities of the state, so that economic polity, social cohesion and meritocracy will define the sustainability in the modern age.  

Do not look inwards, look outwards; cease attacking Britain's socially mobile, by attacking the natural laws, that Abraham Maslow deems necessary.  The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is our entitlement. The more good that the people do in this country, the better the inner party's incognito tactics, to malice USB sticks.  Hang on to Keynes at your peril.  No to the Isolationist and the Orwellian fanatics, who whilst the need for cool heat defines his periphery, blame the world for their winter of discontent, in THAT Penal Toffs' Rebellion!!!!!!!
