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. His policies about expanded government intervention were criticized for infringing on free markets. Libertarian opponents to Keynes argue that in the long run the [[invisible hand]] of the markets would correct any problem that would arise.  Keynes responded by noting, "In the long run, we are all dead."
