The central banking and political world are up in arms about a planned John Maynard Keynes book burning.
The burning was announced by Jeff Berwick, Chief Editor of The Dollar Vigilante, to take place on December 23, the anniversary of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913.
Top central bankers in the United States warned that flimsy economic theories would be in danger if the burning of a copy of John Maynard Keynes, The General Theory of Employment, Interest & Money went ahead.
"What is most dangerous," stated one central banker, "is if this causes people to even logically think for more than a few moments about economics then this entire structure we've built could begin to collapse.
We've done a great job for a long time telling the average man on the street that economics is too difficult to understand."US diplomats and members of the Goldman Sachs' run Department of Treasury called the plan, "disrespectful and dangerous".
But organizer, Jeff Berwick, Chief Editor of The Dollar Vigilante said: "We must send a clear message to the radical element of Keynesians," he continued, "Which, basically means, all Keynesians."The controversy comes at a time when Federal Reserve and US Treasury officials have bankrupted the country by blindly following Keynesian economics.
"In addition to being offensive, the Keynes protest puts at risk those brave Americans who are fighting abroad for the freedoms and values that we believe in as Americans," said one US Senator. "Those values being that the government creates a central bank who manipulates the price of money and uses inflation as a hidden tax.
