Last Straw

Keynes is inno­cent: the toxic spawn of Bretton Woods was no plan of his:

Poor old Lord Keynes. The world’s press has spent the past week black­en­ing his name. Not inten­tion­ally: most of the dun­der­heads report­ing the G20 sum­mit that took place over the week­end really do believe that he pro­posed and foun­ded the Inter­na­tional Mon­et­ary Fund. It’s one of those stor­ies that passes unchecked from one journ­al­ist to another.

The truth is more interesting …
