::"Fascism entirely agrees with Mr. Maynard Keynes, despite the latter’s prominent position as a Liberal. In fact, Mr. Keynes’ excellent little book, ''[http://books.google.com/books?id=pKBdAAAAIAAJ The End of Laissez-Faire]'' (l926) might, so far as it goes, serve as a useful introduction to fascist economics. There is scarcely anything to object to in it and there is much to applaud.... All this is pure fascist premises."<ref>James Strachey Barnes, ''[http://books.google.com/books?cd=1&id=N_jSAAAAMAAJ Universal Aspects of Fascism]'' (London: Williams and Norgate, 1929), pp. 113-115</ref>

LeFevre, [http://www.keynesatharvard.org/site.html About the Author], keynesatharvard.org</ref> Zygmund Dobbs recounted that Harvard economist Joseph Schumpeter (who "believed that capitalism would be destroyed by its successes, that it would spawn a large intellectual class that made its living by attacking the very bourgeois system of private property and freedom so necessary for the intellectual class’s existence")<ref>"[http://www.econlib.org/library/Enc/bios/Schumpeter.html Joseph Alois Schumpeter (1883-1950)], ''The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics'' (Liberty Fund)</ref> observed that in Nazi Germany, "A work like Keynes’ ''General Theory'' could have appeared unmolested&mdash;and did." Oswald Mosley, mentioned earlier, had been a Fabian socialist in 1930, when Keynesian economics was the "officially accepted Fabian line," adds Dobbs. Mosely went on to found the British Union of Fascists, which "at first was modelled after Mussolini’s example but later became patterned after Hitler. Through all these tergiversations, Mosley never had to abandon his Keynesist principles."<ref>Zygmund Dobbs, ''Keynes at Harvard: economic deception as a political credo,'' (New York: Veritas Foundation, 1960), pp. 88-90</ref>
