Liberalism and left "must" be recoinciled if we wont to defeat the degenerazion of conservative ( e g Trump). To do this we must follow the ideas and words of Keynes that wrote on these pages 80 years ago, about what for him means social liberism. I would like you reprint his words that are valid also in present times.
The left needs to stop blaming the world for not being as it wishes. Liberalism needs to stop assuming that freedom automatically creates truth. Our knowledge is measured by our ability to precisely and accurately predict what *will* happen; not by our ability to rationalise away what *has* happened. The biggest zealots of liberalism and of the left are all rationalists, not empiricists.
