The Austrian school of goat *******.

Great name for a band.

Well Austria's quite mountainous so I guess it's a good location for an Academy of Goatshagging.

You see Robby there are only 3 possibilities:

1. You are an economics genius. If that's the case you should be minting it in economics not being a lowly .NET dev.
2. You are an economics genius but the world doesn't understand your complex and intellectual ideas, so that's why you're a lowly .NET dev.
3. You are a prize idiot who talks complete bollux like Cliff Clavin in Cheers and that's why you're a lowly .NET dev.

So which do you think it is?

It's number 4, i'm a impotent old git who can't get a contract any more and spends all day seething in my rocking chair posting about my fantasy lifestyle on CUK.

Sorry to hear that. You mean you're not even a lowly .NET dev?
You work in the family takeway, don't you?

I blame Mrs Thatcher for expanding Care in the Community; it's one of those policies that could still do with a bit of tweaking to get it right.

Some of the comments are staggering.

Keynesian economic theory is discredited? Better tell cambridge to remove it from their syllabus then. Sure we have Post-keynes studies now, but thats fair enough, the world moves on.

A google search might find you an article or two to support your argument, but you can do that for any economic school of thought, or any subject for that matter.

All economic models are just that, models.

As the world changes so does the economic environment.

If you're going to spread the kind of thatcher wet dream hyperbole about how simple the whole economy is if you just trust the free market; then at least go out and get yourself a degree in economics before you go preaching to the educated.

Are you suggesting that Robby is option 3 in my list of options. Well I never! tsk tsk.

If Keynsianism worked then half the world wouldn't be mired in recession/depression.

The idea that stimulus can boost an economy is all good and well, problem is, when that stimulus goes away, so does the boost, and then you still have to pay off the stimulus.

A boom results in a malinvestment of resources, and stimulus does nothing to fix that.

Like I said, as you have the answers, why are you just a lowly .NET dev?
You really need to keep asking yourself that, if you are to progress in this world which mocks you so cruelly

I earn more than enough thanks.

I earn more than enough thanks.

Ah I see. You are foregoing the millions your ekonomiks genius entitles you to, due to your modest needs?
But think of the poor children, you could make them all rich, by solving the world's problems.
