Worldly Philosophers

"Ideas..." wrote John Maynard Keynes, "when they are right and when they are wrong, are more powerful than is commonly understood.... Practical men, who believe themselves... exempt from any intellectual influences, are usually the slaves of some defunct economist....The power of vested interests is vastly exaggerated compared with the gradual encroachment of ideas." This monthly series of commentaries, produced in cooperation with Vienna's Institute for Human Sciences (IWM), elucidates the underlying intellectual currents of our times.
