Surely that does not mean that we cannot learn from the system. Saying
that it is dead, dead,
dead, is perhaps expressing a hope that nothing like it will arise from
the ashes. As I mentioned before when Keynes was in fashion, Hayek and his
disciples were dead, dead, dead. No doubt you could reply to anyone who
brought up his arguments against Keynes.
The Austrians are dead, dead, dead. What are you antiquarians?
