A Keynesian dogma that has made a deep impression is that consumption is necessary to move the economy and job creation. I repeats anyone with whom you talk about these issues. I am struck by the incongruity of such people between their way of life and its economic credo.
Those to whom I refer are ordinary people who say such phrases:
We wanted go on vacation 15 days, but is very achuchada thing and have left in a week.
'I have told the child that, if you choose this career, go saving for the master.
If we touch the lottery, maybe we change car; Meanwhile, we continue with this that although old, does not give problems.
Expect to hear from them more consistent sentences:
With fortnight's holiday we started to get tired, but for the good of the country we have stayed in the apartment a week, of course, pulling the house out the window.
'I have told the child to have fun all you can; for Masters are already banks.
'We felt ashamed that the car worked so well being so old and we have changed with a new one, because the automotive industry say on TV that is strategic.
Why sound so strange these phrases when they are actually fit to Keynesian thinking? among other reasons, because we live, but not philosophize. for this activity we have relied on a oracles (school, television, experts of dubious experience) that have filled our heads of birds and make us look silly pot.
However, my conclusion is optimistic, although we sustain absurd dogmas, we act in general, soberly, and in this case, action is what matters.
