    Keynes wrong?

    Stimulus spending allied with real wage cuts worked in Germany. It was the ONLY country to get out of the depression.
    It still works!

        I have written about it. Australia did not get out of the depression.

        The best we got was 8% unemployment. That is a recession. We di not get out of the depression until the war.

          Not willing to say when because you would have to admit you were wrong.

          mate I have write about this on my blog,
          Austerity here meant GDP falling. A massive devaluation later helped boost output. We only got back to recession levels of unemployment .

          Expansionary austerity never has any legs at all, Germany was the only country who got to full employment. via increased Government spending and real wage reductions which is what Keynes advocated.
