“This is the logical conclusion of what we might call the liberal syllogism, with the following propositional structure: (a) liberalism produced modern civilization; (b) liberalism is capitalist; therefore (c) all modern civilization is capitalist. We can trace inchoate forms of the syllogism in Hobbes and some of his contemporaries, including Locke, but it is really with Kant that it comes together as a mode of “practical logic.”39 All forms of Keynesian reason are a sympathetic critique of this syllogism.”

“Whatever radical wagers we choose to make in the face of capitalism, liberalism, and their occasional fascist and totalitarian guises, there is a very real possibility that we make them in vain. There is no certain victory, even in the longest run or the latest instance—or if there is, it is presently unimaginable. No matter how long and hard the path, it may still end in disaster. This only seems to make Keynesianism more sensible than ever.”
