THE PLIGHT OF THE BURMESE PEOPLE
As if the Burmese people hadn't enough to contend with by being brutally ruled by a Junta of military criminals, they now have to contend with one of the worst natural disasters ever to occur in the region. With a bit of luck this will spell the end of the general's rule as it appears that they don't have the resources to deal with the disaster. Hopefully, the world's aid agencies will get in there as quickly as possibe and do what they can to alleviate the suffering on the ground.

"Mankiw's 10 principles of economics, translated for the uninitiated", by Yoram Bauman, http://www.standupeconomist.co... '>http://www.standupeconomist.co... . Presented at the AAAS humor session, February 16, 2007. For the record, the talk contains two unattributed quotes ("9 out of 5" is adapted from a line attributed to Paul Samuelson---although apparently he said it about Wall Street indices, not macroeconomists---and "wrong about things" is paraphrased from P.J. O'Rourke's Eat the Rich) and, of course, the Einstein "simple" quote is an intentional misquote. The talk is based on a published article in Annals of Improbable Research (see http://www.improb.com/airchive... ), which sponsored my talk and to which you should subscribe ( http://improb.com/subscribe/ ). In the paper you can see the "constructive example" of how trade can make everyone worse off (or you can just wait 50 years to see what happens with climate change). More info and other clips on my website ( http://www.standupeconomist.co... '>http://www.standupeconomist.co... ), and please sign up for my email list. (No spam I promise.)

Awesome... when I'm taking my econ exams I always think of it that way... It's the only way I can connect the theories we learn to why the world doesn't look anything like the theories.

What does he say: "that kind of sloppy thinking will never get you a [something] position"?

Fire all the employed economists and give their jobs to the unemployed economists.This economic model cannot continue to function therefore we must do such things as redifine GDP. Replace the concept of externalities with the idea of natural capital. Tax money made by speculation higher and higher to reduce speculation.Eliminate short selling on the futures markets.(Or explane to me how it is not just gambling)Or in other words just remake the model so that it fits reality.

inflation is the increase in the money supply period.Price/wage levels cannot increase in the longterm without an increase in the money supply no matter what "expectations" are except with a decrease in the amount of goods relative to the money supply or an increase in the money supply relative to the amount of goods. Otherwise there will be liquidity problems.
