April 29, 201511 yr he's not though, he's spouting like a preacher what they should think rather than getting them to engage is that not what all politicians and supporters of specific parties do though?
April 29, 201511 yr Yeah except that Martin Wolf in today's FT doesn't agree, amongst many more, and I suspect he has a basic grasp of economics. He instead takes an honest and balanced view. If you reading the Guardian without an accompanying huge pinch of salt then, well, you won't exactly be getting a fair and balanced representation of views he saw your guardian and raised you a an FT........pow pow
April 29, 201511 yr Classic Keynesian economic theory is spending in down turns to pick the economy up but saving in the good times. The last part of this seems to have been forgotten.
April 29, 201511 yr which ever flat dick find that cunt attractive need to give their head a wobble he's right.
April 29, 201511 yr Classic Keynesian economic theory is spending in down turns to pick the economy up but saving in the good times. The last part of this seems to have been forgotten. Spend when the economy is doing well, spend when it isn't! Literally unbelievable how many people believe this is sensible and sustainable.
April 29, 201511 yr he saw your guardian and raised you a an FT........pow pow He'll take a while to climb off the canvas after that one I should think
April 29, 201511 yr Yeah except that Martin Wolf in today's FT doesn't wholly agree, amongst many more, and I suspect he has a basic grasp of economics. He instead takes an honest and balanced view. If you reading the Guardian without an accompanying huge pinch of salt then, well, you won't exactly be getting a fair and balanced representation of views. Why is a household budget a bad analogy for the economy? Very few analogies are perfect. Why is that one so wrong? http://www.irishtimes.com/business/economy/martin-wolf-uk-recovery-conceals-dire-productivity-growth-1.2193277 This? Hardly diametrically opposed is it?
April 29, 201511 yr he's being given a platform though Boris is just as big a clown and he's touted as the next leader
April 29, 201511 yr http://www.irishtimes.com/business/economy/martin-wolf-uk-recovery-conceals-dire-productivity-growth-1.2193277 This? Hardly diametrically opposed is it? No, it's not. It's balanced and fair. I'm not going to throw diamaterically opposed propaganda at you to make a point. Which is why I'd suggest you don't lap up the articles in the Guardian as gospel, either. I was simply proving that somebody 'with a little economic sense' or whatever you called it would not necessarily say that 'austerity' was a disaster. It's absolute nonsense to suggest that everyone with 'any sense' disagrees with it. FWIW I think Martin Wolf is perhaps Keynesian and might even be anti-austerity, but he's at least able to judge it objectively. Don't know how many times Whites Man has to say it. The theory (Gordon Brown always banged on about it) goes that you save when times are good, and spend when they're not. However Labour spent when times were good, we're now in a ton of debt and we can't afford to spend our way out of trouble.

What I find weird is you've chosen a man who has described austerity as a disaster to prove a point that not everyone with any sense agrees austerity is a disaster. I rather think you've tied yourself up in knots a bit here. But that aside the Guardian piece was written by an American Professor of Economics who has won the Nobel prize for economic science. Irrespective of it being published in the Guardian, it is still the fact and evidence based opinion of one of, if not the leading economists in the world. The Guardian have published it yes, but it was hardly going to get into the Sun. It may well not be what you want to hear but dismissing something because of where it is published is a bit silly when the author is clearly respected as being a more than credible voice in his field.

Economics; is it a science?

April 29, 201511 yr Classical theory that you can't increase gdp in the long run by increasing demand and that supply has to prop this up..

April 29, 201511 yr Not looking good Big shift from Conservative to UKIP, letting in the World's Worst MP I said that weeks ago. Those voting for UKIP do they realise it will ensure that Hilling woman is re-elected.
April 29, 201511 yr The thing with getting a UKIP mp in is that at least he/she will open their mouth to what is going on.
April 29, 201511 yr The thing with getting a UKIP mp in is that at least he/she will open their mouth to what is going on. Brill. Well worth a vote then.
