It doesn't even matter if the business will have profits, it matters if the business will look to future investors like it will have profits.

If only this were Keyne's most famous theory. I believe he (or the greater school of thought built around him) did argue that stimulus through discounted interest rates should be balanced in a timely fashion. But I have to look around the world and wonder which - if any - of our leaders is brave enough to do this? The long trend downwards in interest rates everywhere has not had the desired effect and there are a lot of negative side-effects. But on paper the CPI is kinda OK so it's not a problem, right?

Without my glasses on, I read that as Kanye’s and was really confused for a good minute.
