35、e C. a confused feeling D. an excited feelingDIn his 1930 essay “Economic Possibilities for our Grandchildren“. John Keynes. a famous economist, wrote that human needs fall into two classes: absolute needs, which are independent of what others have, and relative needs. which make us feel superior to
