His policies about expanded government intervention were criticized for infringing on free markets.

Keynes responded by noting, "In the long run, we are all dead." | Although Keynes was not a socialist, he poked fun at businessmen and was criticized by conservatives both during the [[Bretton Woods Conference]] and afterward for his pro big government stance.
