#Inflation = theft
“By a continuing process of inflation, Governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens. By this method they not only confiscate, but they confiscate arbitrarily; and, while the process impoverishes many, it actually enriches some.”

The love of money as a possession -- as distinguished from the love of money as a means to the enjoyments and realities of life -- will be recognised for what it is, a somewhat disgusting morbidity, one of those semi-criminal, semi-pathological propensities which one hands over with a shudder to the specialists in mental disease.

Keynes predicted that technological progress and AI could free people from material necessity, but the real challenge is using increased leisure to live meaningful lives. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/03/06/world/ai-proves-100-year-old-prediction/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #johnmaynardkeynes #economics #ai #jobs

... #Versailles" avait été injuste, aleurs de la #revanchisme.
"#JohnMaynardKeynes a fait valoir que les réparations imposées à l'Allemagne après la Première Guerre mondiale étaient excessivement sévères et conduiraient à la ruine économique, comme il l'a expliqué en détail dans son ouvrage « Les conséquences économiques de la paix ». Il estimait qu'une approche plus clémente était nécessaire pour garantir la stabilité en Europe et prévenir de futurs conflits.

At any rate to me it seems clearer every day that the moral problem of our age is concerned with the love of money, with the habitual appeal to the money motive in nine-tenths of the activities of life, with the universal striving after individual economic security as the prime object of endeavour, with the social approbation of money as the measure of constructive success, and with the social appeal to the hoarding instinct as the foundation of the necessary provision for the family and for the future.
John Maynard Keynes (1883-1946) English economist
Essays in Persuasion, Part 4 “Politics,” ch. 1, sec. 2 (1931)More info about this quote: wist.info/keynes-john-maynard/…

@alexbuzzbee Original phrasing or quoted from elsewhere?
(I like it, FWIW.)
Strong shades of Keynes:
“Practical men who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influence, are usually the slaves of some defunct economist. Madmen in authority, who hear voices in the air, are distilling their frenzy from some academic scribbler of a few years back”
