With the acquisition of part of the Joseph Smith Egyptian collection from the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1967, a spirit of curiosity has resulted in the publication of several books and articles on the Abraham facsimiles.

The target here is John Maynard Keynes's "General Theory," the book that appeared in 1936 and swept all before it. In economic science, Keynes changed everything. He supposedly demonstrated that prices don't work, that private investment is unstable, that sound money is intolerable, and that government was needed to shore up the system and save it. It was simply astonishing how economists the world over put… Read More
