Bibliography of Refutations of Keynes, Compiled by Walter Block
This is a good list of anti-Keynes books and articles.
This is the 50th anniversary of Henry Hazlitt's refutation of Keynes, Failure of the "New Economics". It is definitive. It is readable. It had zero effect in 1959. It was dropped down the academic memory hole, where it remains.
This is from Lew Rockwell's site.
Hazlitt’s critique is a page by page, paragraph by paragraph, almost line by line, refutation of Keynes’s General Theory. In football, you’re not supposed to “pile on.” But, in our field, this is not only allowed, but encouraged. So, go get him!
