Oh yes, the Nazis were good students of Mr. Keynes:-). And he had sympathies 
with them. But - don't you think that this was another kind of 
"globalization"? The industrial politics of the Nazis and their activities against 
unemployment and the Big Depression - I say only the industrial politics - was not so 
far from Roosevelt's and - cum grano salis - Stalin's. These all were "state 
capitalisms" in different versions and of very different brutality of course.
