In 1999, Time magazine included Keynes in their list of the 100 most important and influential people of the 20th century, commenting that: "His radical idea that governments should spend money they don't have may have saved capitalism.

Born into a wealthy middle-class family in Trier in the Prussian Rhineland, Marx studied at the Universities of Bonn and Berlin where he became interested in the philosophical ideas of the Young Hegelians.

He was an economics professor at California State University, Los Angeles and a research fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution from 1968 to 1973. During his time at the Hoover Institution, he wrote the major study Western Technology and Soviet Economic Development (in three volumes), arguing that the West played a major role in developing the Soviet Union from its very beginnings up until the present time (1970). Sutton argued that the Soviet Union's technological and manufacturing base — which was then engaged in supplying the Viet Cong — was built by United States corporations and largely funded by US taxpayers.

La première partie a été publiée ici. Chaque humain construit sa propre représentation du monde, décrivant sa nature et son fonctionnement, ce qui lui permet de lui donner une certaine cohérence et de savoir comment se comporter. Cette représentation se construit à partir de sa culture, de ses expériences, de son entourage, etc. Elle guide son imagination et ses décisions, comme la boussole guide le voyageur. Or il y a confusion entre représentation et réalité, ce qui génère des désaccords entre humains, chacun croyant détenir la vérité. Ceci est aggravé par le fait que la représentation influence la perception : nous percevons surtout ce que nous croyons. Par exemple : la Terre est plate. Avec le temps, quelques observateurs plus curieux que d’autres remarquent ces détails. Nous percevons surtout ce que nous croyons.
