Short Video: “Keynes as Santa” Spoof on Christmas Spending

Here is a clever video. It takes apart John Maynard Keynes. It shows why the economic problem is not a lack of spending.

It’s a spoof of those late-night TV ads that used to sell a record collection of famous hit songs, but which today sell CD-ROM collections of famous hit songs.

This collection is perfect for the season: Christmas.

If you think that Keynesians regard the federal government as Santa, this shows you why.

What impresses me is this: the free market videos are a lot more clever than the Keynesian videos.

“What Keynesian videos?”, you ask. Beats me.
