5 Nobel economists, 5 essays: what must change

Skybird · 11-12-08, 07:59 PM

You're aware that the word "to change" already existed before God sent Obama down to Earth - and that I meant it in that archaic, pre-obamic meaning?

Also, Nobel awards should not be compared like peace Nobel versus hard science Nobel, hard science Nobel versus pseudo science Nobel (like economics). I just gave five essay by economists who have some name in their field. The point is not them being Nobel prize winners, but the content of their essays, which mybe were written not by the most incompetent.

Al Gore...?

Back to the original topic now......

I actually read through them and these seem like a bunch of smart guys. It gave me a different perspective and some things to think about. You have to put things like this out there so people can help themselves to become more informed and make better decisions.

One interesting note. All of them didn't point to the same things, and all of them didn't come up with the same conclusions. Just goes to show there isn't any one right answer.

To solve the problem(s), you'll need to get a bunch of smart people all working on it. (Just make sure they are "The Smartest Guys in the Room")

I wasn't mad either.

I just want to know, how much real business experience do these economists have? What companies have the run? Theory is abstract, practical experience speaks much louder, IMO.
