“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert”. - J Robert Oppenheimer.

So Hayek didn’t understand you only use fiscal policy when there is a liquidity trap.
not bright was he!

There is no such thing as a liquidity trap, and if there is, there are huge social gains in an ageing society from an optimal tax perspective bringing it on. See https://utopiayouarestandinginit.com/2014/07/04/if-there-is-such-a-thing-as-a-liquidity-trap-bring-it-on/

A liquidity trap is when monetary policy is no longer working properly i.e when you have deflation or interest rates are at the zero bound.
It is only under these conditions Keynes advocated fiscal policy. Otherwise you use monetary policy.
He has been proven 100% correct.

sorry I don’t get it.
If you have a depression and there is no deflation because of deficient demand so you only need monetary policy to overcome it.

The re-blog is about the mythical link between deflation and a depression.
Breathless journalists and politicians get into a moral panic over deflation because they fear a recession because of the experience of the 1930s of simultaneous deflation and a depression, which was a spurious correlation.

It doesn’t explain how Hayek got Keynesian policy so wrong.
Every country that had a depression in 2008 had deflation! It could depend on the Depression.
