Well my predictions of Americas imminent financial collapse have been spectacularly wrong (100 bucks is now 56.5 ukp, up from 54.2 when I posted my ‘master plan’).
Also I’ve been watching anti G8 demos on the news, and while I vaguely feel most of those on the demos have their hearts in the right place, campaigning to ‘end capitalism now!’ seems as meaningless as trying to repeal the law of gravity.
Still, at least I know how little I know.
Economics and a basic financial Clue seem to have passed me by entirely. For some reason I saw physics as a good way to understand the world, which was a bit silly with hindsight. The worlds problems are caused by peoples
needs and greed(s), not neutrinos.
So I’ve decided to take a bit of time to read up on economics. Go go gadget wikipedia!
Also this online book , which is hopefully written by a bona fide capitalist bastard (who might know what he’s talking about).
