The idea that liberalism comes in two forms [classical and modern] assumes that the most fundamental question facing mankind is how much governments should intervene in the economy. But when instead we discuss human purpose, Adam Smith and J. M. Keynes are on the same side. For Smith, mercantilism was the enemy of human liberty. For Keynes, monopolies were. It makes perfect sense for an eighteenth-century thinker to conclude that humanity would flourish under a free market. For a twentieth century thinker ... government was an essential tool to the same end.

Not many people thought that a free market could lead to something like the Great Depression, but it did. A good case can be made that Franklin D. Roosevelt, following essentially Keynesian ideas, saved American capitalism from itself. (At the time they called him a communist.)
