Some USAians sometimes use "England" erroneously (and offensively) to mean the UK. Your later geographically and culturally specific remarks suggest you are not doing this.<BR/><BR/>"...military keynesianism, perfected by Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany..."<BR/><BR/>Well... Keynesianism does cover what happened there, but they didn't actually pursue Keynesian policies. They mostly used high tax and spend policies, without precisely going into deficit. Those produce stimulus effects similar to but smaller than the same amounts of deficit finance, according to Keynesian analysis. In their, ah, special circumstances they were able to overcome political objections to the high taxes, aided partly by the militarism and partly by disguising much of the revenue as savings schemes. In James Buchan's <I>Frozen Desire</I> he describes much of what was involved in sterilising what would otherwise have been straight inflationary deficit finance.<BR/><BR/>The USA wanted to treat liberated France as a defeated country too, trying to introduce occupation money that would end up a charge on France, only De Gaulle nipped it in the bud. Only a little went into circulation, repudiated ab initio.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3077210.post-53724102539376669392008-11-11T10:14:00.000+01:002008-11-11T10:14:00.000+01:00AQ 169 = INSIDE MAN (AQ-270 CHAIYYA CHAIYYA, AQ-27...AQ 169 = <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSTDBZ1NOTs" REL="nofollow">INSIDE MAN</A> (<EM>AQ-270 <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_2gW3zwMMQ" REL="nofollow">CHAIYYA CHAIYYA</A>, AQ-270 MYOFASCIAL PAIN</EM>) = BRUXISM (<EM>GRK-815 Βρυγμος ~ AQ-134 BRUGMÓS; AQ-293 GNASHING OF TEETH, AQ-362 PARAFUNCTIONAL HABIT, AQ-706 BETA RHO UPSILON GAMMA MU OMICRON STIGMA</EM>) = ENCHANTER (<EM>AQ-70 ONN {AQ-160 MEONENIM}, AQ-103 HOSEA 6:4</EM>).<BR/><BR/>AQ 422 = <A HREF="http://bollywhat.com/lyrics/dilse_lyr.html" REL="nofollow">RELIGIOUS PROFESSION</A> (<EM>AQ-354 PROFESSION OF FAITH</EM>) = MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.<BR/><BR/>AQ 2691 = <A HREF="http://www.kuk-verlagsanstalt.com/English/Maulbronn/24BelshazzarLibretto.html" REL="nofollow">DANIEL: DU, O FÜRST, HAST WIEDER UNSERN GOTT DICH FREVELND AUFGELEHNT, DESS' KELCHE DU ZUM FEST BEGEHRET, WORAUS DU SELBST, DIE FRAU'N, DAS HOFGESIND' IN WEIN GESCHWELGET!</A> (<EM>AQ-306 BELSHAZZAR (HANDEL)</EM>) = THE QUESTION IS: WHY PLAY THIS PERVERSE GAME, WHEN IT'S ALMOST CERTAINLY THE SECOND TIME, AT LEAST, AND TECHNOLOGICAL PROGRESS IS ALREADY AN ARTIFICIAL MEMORY?<BR/><BR/>AQ 878 = <A HREF="http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Martin_Luther_King,_Jr.#Where_Do_We_Go_From_Here.3F_.281967.29" REL="nofollow">WE ARE BOUND TOGETHER IN A SINGLE GARMENT OF DESTINY</A> (<EM>In the final analysis the weakness of Black Power is its failure to see that the black man needs the white man and the white man needs the black man.
