Mahathir Mohamad for prime minister

Perhaps if you spent some time in the public library reading economics you would find out some facts and theories. Until then you will have to make do with your ignorance and sarcasm.

Reading has to be tempered with critical sense. I'll wager I've read more about economics that you. Difference is I just don't accept every theory I read.

I asked you a simple question - how does Germany fit into your "theory"?

Then read "The German Economy in the Twentieth Century" by Hans-Joachim Braun.

Presumably you've read it. So kindly answer my question - how does Germany fit into your theory?

No answer?
It's because your theory is crap.
Contrary to your assertion, at least one country in Europe pursued, post-war, an export-led, low inflation economy.
A word of advice: reading indiscriminately is no substitute fo sceptism, critical thinking and brains.

He's a politician. They're never my type. His words were designed to make his poor peopel feel good.

BBC News - 'Europe is poor so should live within its means'

"Europe... has lost a lot of money and therefore you must be poor now relative to the past. And in Asia we live within our means. So when we are poor, we live as poor people. I think that is a lesson that Europe can learn from Asia."

Can we headhunt him?

I bet he's not poor and runs his own kleptocracy very much for his own benefit
