What did keynes mean by the sentences "in the long run we are all dead. economoists set themselves too easy, too useless a task if in tempestuous seasons they can only tell us that when the storn is long past the ocean is flat again?

Answer 1

I believe keyenes means that it the grand scheme of things we all die anyways. We dont die with our possesions. There will always be a storm no matter how easy you think life is. Even though some people have it easy other people have to struggle as well
