john maynard keynes on capitalism's nasty men

Although this quote is not precise, and is based on Ken Hirsch (in 1951) quoting Keynes as saying 'the astonishing belief that the nastiest motives of the nastiest men will somehow or other work for the best results in the best of all possible worlds', it's still 100% relevant and true. However, I prefer the original quote, as it's referring to Voltaire's character Dr Pangloss in 'Candide' at the end - one of my favourite books. There's nothing worse than a working class kid with an interest in culture and the world at large.
