 John Maynard Keynes
John Maynard Keynes is doubtlessly one the most important figures in the entire history of economics.
John Maynard Keynes responded to his most able critics -- Jacob Viner, Dennis Robertson and Bertil Ohlin -- in a series of 1937 articles, which helped him to expand upon some key aspects of his theory.
Of particular importance was the 1937 article by John Hicks which introduced the "IS-LM" representation of Keynes's theory that launched the "Neoclassical-Keynesian Synthesis" that was to pervade in America (and elsewhere) as the dominant form of macroeconomics in the post-war era, particularly in the 1950s and 1960s.

Representative John Murtha's speech calling for a quick departure from Iraq was full of passion, but it was also serious and specific in a way rarely seen on the other side of the debate.
John P. Murtha coming out for an end to US involvement in the war was not the Walter Cronkite moment of the Iraq war but just another indication of the beginning of the end.
John doesn't seem concerned that not one Repblican voted for the resolution that they put up, nor that the "Murtha" resolution was re-worded so as to change the meaning of what the decorated war hero was proposing.

John Mueller, an expert on war and public opinion at Ohio State University, links today's lower tolerance of casualties to a weaker public commitment to the cause than was felt during the two previous, cold war-era conflicts.
The correct lesson is really for the politicians and policy makers, and it's that we should only get involved in wars that (a) we can wrap up quickly, or (b) are morally justified.
So far, except for John Kerry, the would-be Presidential candidates are all staying off to the side, avoiding risk, letting events take their course.

Pat Robertson has long embarassed the Right, and this statement is yet another example of why many of us wish he'd shut up.
So while at first glance, Robertson's comments may seem a bit ridiculous, if we think about it simply in terms of what is the greater threat to our society (an outside enemy or a "divide and conquer" from within), they do not seem so ridiculous.

The public debating arena is close to a natural level playing field; it might take time, but sooner or later, a whispered truth will always drown out even a bellowed lie.
