Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

Did Keynes ever buy into the idea that "debt doesn't matter" that is so popular with the NCE crowd? Did Keynes ever repudiate Fisher's Debt Defaltion Theory of Great Depressions?

Does anyone recall anything from Keynes on these questions?

I don't, but I haven't read Minsky's John Maynard Keynes". One would expect that Minsky would pay particular attention to Keynes views on debt, given his own research interests.

I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.
