Well don’t this just beat all… The Karl Marx MasterCard.
The German bank Sparkasse Chemnitz recently launched a Karl Marx credit card. The bank let people vote online for 10 different images, and Marx was the “very clear winner,” beating out a palace, a castle and a racetrack, […]
Yes, that’s right. The people who run America’s businesses want more state and local hiring to offset the slack in private demand. I guess we’re all Keynesians now.
