RE KEYNES AND US WARREN MARKETS AND US

A note re Unknown's, comment "...I believe Sen. Elizabeth Warren understands this better than any other Democratic candidate. She knows that unregulated capitalism is just greed...":

"...Friends and colleagues of Warren's from her high school days to the early part of her academic career in the 1980s have characterized her as a "die-hard conservative" with a belief in laissez-faire economics and "surprisingly anti-consumer views". Gary L. Francione, who had been a colleague of hers at the University of Pennsylvania, recalled in 2019 that when he heard her speak at the time she was becoming politically prominent, he "almost fell off [his] chair... She’s definitely changed".[29] Warren was registered as a Republican from 1991 to 1996.[1] She voted Republican for many years. "I was a Republican because I thought that those were the people who best supported markets", she has said.[7] But she has also said that in the six presidential elections before 1996 she voted for the Republican nominee only once, in 1976, for Gerald Ford.[29] Warren has said that she began to vote Democratic in 1995 because she no longer believed that the Republicans were the party who best supported markets,.."
