Niall Ferguson is a pseudo- historian known for advocating a vicious form of neo-conservatism. Last week at the Altergris conference Ferguson attacked the John Maynard Keynes saying that Keynes didn't care about the future because he was gay and an an 'effete' member of society." The whole thing sounds very stupid of course. It's an example of "right wing logic" which lumps everything they dislike into one category. Ferguson's comments have even drawn fire from certain right wing opinion makers.
Ferguson is now backtracking admitting that his comments were "stupid." His entire world view is stupid. Ferguson is a relic of the 1980's who preaches militarism, imperialism, and recessionist economics.
