    Yes things were really bad before Keynesian economic policy was invented. But fortunately they figured that out.

    Since then most famines have been caused by political instability. The largest famine in the world since we figured out economic policy happened in a socialist country (China).

    While socialism is beneficial in some sectors of the economy, historically socialism doesn’t have a reliable track record when it comes to food production and distribution.

      are you willfully ignoring the bengal famine or do you just love pretending you’re not a racist piece of shit?

      The Keynesian theory that was enforced by the largest military in the world has arguably failed at this point.

      Free markets don’t exist. It’s just a load of assumptions.

        Keynesian economic strategies have never been implemented. We almost did that in 2020, but the rich saw what was happening, namely them losing control, and they stopped the stimulus packages world wide, for the poor. They kept the handouts for themselves
