John Maynard Keynes and Eugenics

John Maynard Keynes - the Giant of Economics. His name is whispered with reverence. His ideas are worshipped in Washington, DC, Lansing and in the dusty offices of Wayne County. If you recall Ronald Reagan was very keen on Keynes. It is widely reported that President Barack Husein Obama is basing much of his economic ‘rescue’ on the economic theory of Keynes. That would make him a ‘Keynesian’.
A horrible fact that I have never heard mentioned by learned recently is that John Maynard Keynes was the head of the ‘British Eugenics Society’ from the years of 1937 to 1944.
Those are the years that the British Empire was at war with Nazi Germany.
Eugenics is the applied “science” which advocates the use of practices aimed at improving the genetic composition of a human population. Abuses include racial hygiene (no intermarriage), human experimentation (cloning, genetic manipulation), sterilization of ’subhuman’ individuals and the extermination of undesired population groups.
Eugenics had its origins in the theory of the ‘Survival of the Fittest’.
Keynesian economic policies also boil down to ‘Survival of the Fittest’ with the emphasis on the ‘fittest’ government.
It seems clear that doubts and concerns about the radical and baseless economic ideas that Keynes advocated against common sense are of the same coin as the insane and heartless ideas that are part and parcel of eugenics.
The name of John Maynard Keynes has taken on for me an ominous and dangerous tone. I cannot believe in Economic Eugenics. Can you?
