A while back I read a daily article that I liked and quoted from, but I went to find the article to pass along to my friend as a reference, but have forgotten the title and author.   I was hoping someone on here could remember the part that stuck with me most and point me in the right direction.

The article is a refutation of Keynes' work, which unfortunately doesn't help narrow down the topics on the daily list.  The tone of the article was almost joking at how comical Keynes' theories are.  The key part that I remember, was something similar to

"Keynes' theory of production is that, 'the only way to increase production, is by increasing production.'"   

I remember that author followed several steps beyond what Keynes actually wrote to arrive at a statement similar yet different to that.  

Does anyone remember the article I am thinking of, or have I lost my mind?

You're not giving us much help.

A while back

???

Was it an old article, or a recent article "a while back"?

"Keynes' theory of production is that, 'the only way to increase production, is by increasing production.'"   

Keynes was not so smart sadly.

Unfortunately its not :( 
I think I read it in the last 4 months or so, but I can't be sure.  I've read so many of the daily articles that I cant keep track of them anymore.  The problem is that while I read it in the last 4 months I can't say for certain that the article was new at the time I read it.

Depending on how bad you want it, here is a search to 400 Dailies that have the words "keynes" and "production" in them.
