A bit of Googling suggests you can get an MBA or MSc in economics, with the latter form being drizzled in some dodgy ill conceived pseudo science.

Oh alright, that would make the former just a complete load of then?

Well that's another issue, but afaik if you study Economicwank you get an MSc, not an MBA.

Surely an MBA is in 'Business Administration'? Economics would shirley be an MSc?

I smell bovine faeces.

Plus;

'I have a MBA in Economics and I can read a balance sheet.'

I have a MBA in Economics and I can read a balance sheet. The average housing price is 5 times average earnings and the historical avaerage is 3 times. So we need a 40% write down. You add the consumer debts of 1.2 Trillion and commercial properties and the M & A activity. We know that that the top 10 banks have debts abroad of 460% of GDP. Over the next 3 years £1,000bn has to be repaid. Where is the money going to come from?

Sounds bad for savers.
