Does anybody know where I can find the Keynesian response to Hazlitt's The Failure of New Economics?  The book was very pursuasive, but I always like to hear the other side of the argument...

I'm not lazy, I just have a high time preference.

Seconded. I'd also like to get my hands on that material, for the same reason.

The closest I've seen is on Robert Vienneau's site, where he whines about Hazlitt's supposed ignorance of the mathematics involved in Keynes' treatise. Hazlitt is either unknown to or avoided by Keynesians otherwise, perhaps because Friedman posed a much larger threat.

A more obvious threat, possibly, but not a larger one. Friedman offered a compromise, not a rebuttal.
