A Doctor’s Responsibility
Emergencies are not always obvious. Is that gentleman on the bench dozing or overdosing?I wonder if it is ethical to pull overdosed addicts back from death.
If they have passed out in public the ethical case for rescue is stronger.

The Center Is Sexier Than You Think
The most promising political turf in 2018 isn’t on the left.No.

I'm not big on "what Keynes said", since Keynesianism is a living body of thought, not worship of the old master. Still, he did call for fiscal austerity in boom times 3/ http://cas2.umkc.edu/economics/people/facultyPages/wray/courses/Econ601%202012/readings/Keynes%20World%20Crises.pdf …
What's weird is that the actual content of Keynesianism is not hard to find -- it's in all the intro textbooks. And for what it's worth, Trumpian fiscal policy -- deficits when the economy is doing well -- are NOT part of it 2/
Agreed that "Keynesian" -- like "socialist" -- has become a right-wing epithet to describe anything they dislike, whether it's expansionary monetary policy or helping poor people get health care 1/
