Catches of the week
Keynes wasn't the Keynesian that today's Keynesians claim...
Economic historian Niall Ferguson on the coming consequences of the world economic crisis: "There will be blood ... It's just that I don't see it producing anything comparable with 1914 or 1939."
"Death by Rescue -- in pictures"
Shoe throwing at world leaders -- has Bush started a movement?
Bernie Madoff was penny ante.
Now that the US has de-industrialized, what nation is "by far the world's leading manufacturer"? Hint: Not China.
Worst food ever?
As the rest of the nation's economy sinks and is ordered/forced to cut back on spending, guess who gains and spends like bankers used to?
Keynes wasn't the Keynesian that today's Keynesians claim...
