Davidson has an idea fixe that liberals have to find an answer to neo-classical
economics.  They can only succeed by dogmatically hewing to one line.  Keynes
has the fewest assumptions, so by Occam's razor, he is best suited to rise to
the occassion.  All others must be cut down ruthlessly.

I have learnt from some of his work in the past, but he seems to be repeating
himself in recent decades.
