==Criticism of Keynes and Keynesian Economics==
Although Keynes was not a socialist, he did have left-leaning tendencies and was criticized by conservatives both during the Bretton Woods Conference and in hindsight as being too pro-big government. His policies about expanded government intervention were criticized as infringing on free markets and that in time the invisible hand of the markets would correct any problem that would arise. Keynes was also criticized because of his personal life, he was known to have homosexual tendencies [http://www.knittingcircle.org.uk/jmkeynes.html].
