I should point out I'm not formally trained in Economics (to any degree of completion anyway), my experience is largely practical with most of the deeper theory coming later. For me this kind of theory is useful insofar as it helps me understand the logic of the day behind the moves and shakes of central banks.

I always assumed library funding was federal. I'm now wondering what it is in Australia (or Switzerland for that matter).

From exhibit A here it appears libertarians main platform is recycling outdated grandiose ideas that have no place in the real world as a moral platform.

I dug out some old textbooks on Keynes and others out of curiousity about a couple of points to do with this and I found this gem from Keynes himself:

"Practical men, who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influences are usually slaves of some defunct economist"

Need I say more?
