Here is a passage from an article I am writing,

Neither would Keynes disagree with the concept of macroeconomic coordination during times of full employment.  Keynes’ concerns primarily dealt with periods marked by a dramatic fall in effective demand.

This is taken "almost verbatim" (not really, but it really is a paraphrasing of the original) from somewhere, but I just can't remember where I read this.  Anybody recognize it?

Sounds like it was a Hayek in an interview in the 70's or 80's.  ill look for the video.

That's a good point...can you recall if it was written or spoken?

Could be from Hazlitt's failure of new economics.

It was written, and it was not from Hazlitt's book.  There is 99% probability that it was written within the last 20-30 years.

excuse my language, but what the fuck is that?

:EDIT:

I did click it...and found myself at a google page where you just ran a search with the exact phrase he's looking for.  My point is, (A) was there anything valuable in the results?  And if so, why not link to that...(B) did you even look at the results?  And (C) do you think he wouldn't have tried searching the exact phrase he typed already?

A and B kind of go together:  I clicked a few of the books. and wasnt about to look through them for him, so i figured i would post a link to them.

C: No, people ask questions about shit because they don't have propred discretion.  but with something like this how hard is it to find ANY source to verify what he wants in his paper from books that explain Keynes?

Is that difficult to understand?  I shouldn't need to do googles job.

 

EDIT sorry thats "proper discretion"

I have no idea what "propred discretion" is, but the job of Google is a search engine...Not a source identification device.  And if you don't have the answer and you don't want to help find it, why the hell even post?

I posted a link to a rather obviously useless google query. 

 you can wonder about my motivation all you want
