As I've claimed before, I think this misinterprets Keynes.  The final
part of "The End of Laissez-Faire" and pretty much the whole of
"Economic Possibilities for our Grandchildren" contemplate a radical
transformation of capitalism on the same ethical and psychological
grounds as Marx, namely, the domination of capitalist motivation by "a
somewhat disgusting morbidity, one of those semi-criminal,
semi-pathological propensities which one hands over with a shudder to
the specialists in mental disease."
