But Keynesianism has historically failed, resulting in military Keynesianism and capitalist control over global Keynesian institutions, leaving the structure of capitalism unchanged in a hugely unequal world.Consumption cannot be cut as demand collapse will bring down capitalism. For the same reason, carbon tax will not be imposed. Military budgets whose reduction can easily pay for a green transition, will not be slashed. This is not just greenwashing, it is green eyewashing. The naive Greens of Europe and elsewhere need to wake up very fast.
