Capital theory, not bogus stimulinomics

Economic Recovery Requires Capital Accumulation, Not Government 'Stimulus Packages' by George Reisman:
The blind rush into massive “stimulus packages” is the culmination of generations of economic ignorance transmitted from professor to student in the guise of advanced, revolutionary thinking – the “Keynesian revolution.” The accelerating destruction of our economic system that we are now experiencing is the product of a prior destruction of economic thought. Our entire intellectual establishment has been the victim – the willing victim – of a massive intellectual con job that goes under the name “Keynesianism.” And we are now paying the price.
