See J M Keynes:-
Quote:- Keynes was a great publicist for his theories. He would say things like: "The government should pay people to dig holes in the ground and then fill them up."
People would reply. "that's stupid, why not pay people to build roads and schools"Keynes would respond saying "Fine, pay them to build schools. The point is it doesn't matter what they do as long as the government is creating jobs". He wanted to emphasise the importance of intervening in a recession.
