Very little. But it seems to have gotten worse recently.

Well there is a very Nordic answer for you.Originally posted by Carolus Rex
To be honest (and despite DrSpike's assertion above) I don't know what kind of economist I am... There are no right answers in economics... I guess I'm a sceptical one...

Get him to say it on a rocky island in the Skagerrak on a hauntingly beautiful day and you've got a Bergman film.Any views I may express here are personal and certainly do not in any way reflect the views of my employer. Tis the rising of the moon..

Yes, indeed. I'm closing my eyes and I'm hearing Max von Sydow murmuring the words to Bibi Andersson. I'm actually not sure how many "s"s Bibi has in her name. I went for two because it looks kind of Swedish to me." ... and the following morning I should see the Boks wallop the Wallabies again?" - Havak

No debate at all. If Adam Smith gets a gig, the third spot has to go to Sun Tzu. Leaves Adam for dead in the usefulness department.Originally posted by Carolus Rex
But I'd put J M Keynes among the top three economists of all time together with Adam Smith... The third spot is still open for debate...

He says it and then dives nude into the water and they have a magical day, possibily involving sex, possibily not, that is left vague.Originally posted by finbar

But whatever happens, later someone has a dark night of the soul and commits suicide. Then we have flashbacks or dream sequences or someone is shown doing mundane work, possibly housework, say an old woman singing some traditional song whilst washing clothes the old fashion way. The camera lingers on the dirty water going down the drain.Any views I may express here are personal and certainly do not in any way reflect the views of my employer. Tis the rising of the moon..

Seems that writing police series for TV gives quite a few useful one-liners!
