"Deep depression: Our economics editor has officially gone from recession to depression. By mangling the names of
two of history’s most highly decorated economists, John Maynard Keynes and Milton Friedman, we not only created an economy of
truth but blamed poor Milton Keynes for having “crazy” ideas (We can all learn from Depression, Opinion, page 21, September
29). Milton Keynes is an English town famous not only for its grid system of roads and its herd of concrete cows but because
in 1998 it was deemed so boring that even chartered accountants refused to move there. The “crazy” ideas comment was intended
for John Maynard Keynes, who was voted one of Time Magazine’s most important people of the 20th century - and who was not
boring."
