A critical analysis without an answer is just academic mental exercises. If you understand the theory but fail to put It in practice, then you haven't really understood the theory.

Philosophers have only interpreted the world in various ways. The point is to change it.

All major companies use statistical models the modern Keynesian influenced economists created. The quants in every firm use these formulas because they produce the most accurate results of any yet devised yet you still get these fuckers that insist keynesianism is incorrect based on rhetorical arguments rather than mathematical. They make assumptions about human behavior not borne by the data and even though fortunes are built on this same school of economics there are businesspeople that refuse to address the realities revealed by these tools on a macro scale.

This kind of ignorance in a professional sphere is truly depressing.

The government gives people money to spend on goods, and industry expands to meet the new demand for goods employing more people and further increasing demand.

You think this leads to slavery. Do you think that Neoliberalism is just an outgrowth of the period in which the Keynesian model was dominant?

>Consumerism
Do you think that debt fueled consumption of goods is something that comes from Keynesian policies?

hurr durr marx said a platitude so it's not worthless.

> then you haven't really understood the theory.

that's just a cliche politically 'active' people tell themselves to feel superior to people, it's not actually the case.
