"Mankiw's 10 principles of economics, translated for the uninitiated", by Yoram Bauman, http://www.standupeconomist.com . 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/airchives/paperair/volume9/v9i2/mankiw.html ), 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).

Swiss bank paid McCain co-chair, Phil Gramm to push agenda on U.S. mortgage crisis. Senator Phil Gramm advised McCain on his subprime mortgage bailout policy while he was also a registered lobbyist for the Swiss bank UBS. Per TPM: "UBS has some $37 billion in write-downs on assets tied to bad US mortgages...According to Forbes, UBS has some $37 billion in write-downs on assets tied to bad US mortgages. In other words, the bank's very life appears to be on the line in how the US government chooses to handle the matter."

John is interviewed by DemocracyNow.org ( I would call it RepublicNow.org ;) - see the video "Victoria's Secret Circus" for a definition of Republic). Mr. Perkins was recruited by the NSA to strongarm countries into doing the bidding of the U.S. If he was unable to convince the country's leader to comply, then that leader would be assassinated. Hugo Chavez has been unwilling to comply with the leverage or bribery tactics of the U.S. We simply ask you the viewer, "Who is the bigger threat to world peace and stability?"

Part 2: http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=whVSw5X2pVU Documentary on the events that led to the economic collapse of Argentina in 2001 which wiped out the middle class and raised the level of poverty to 57.5%. Central to the collapse was the implementation of neo-liberal policies which enabled the swindle of billions of dollars by foreign banks and corporations. Many of Argentina's assets and resources were shamefully plundered. Its financial system was even used for money laundering by Citibank, Credit Suisse, and JP Morgan. The net result was massive wealth transfers and the impoverishment of society which culminated in many deaths due to oppression and malnutrition.

http://www.weforum.org 25.06.2007 The Innovation Mantra: The Key to Asian Competitiveness? Citing innovation as the key to global competitiveness has become a reflex in Asia. But is innovation understood, and applied, in the context of meeting the unmet needs of consumers and markets through insight and invention? Is an incremental, product-based approach the best for Asia? Which industries and companies have it right, and which have it wrong, in Asia? What has been the track record of governments so far to foster real innovation? Jim Goodnight, Chief Executive Officer, SAS, USA K. V.

http://www.weforum.org 27.01.2007 The Global Economic Outlook 2007 Consumer spending has helped drive robust global economic growth since 2002. But as the US economy slows and global interest rates rise in response to higher inflation, whether this expansion will go on or not is the subject of much debate. 1) What is the outlook for US consumer spending and growth given trends in housing prices and interest rates? 2) Will oil prices remain as volatile? What impact will that have on global growth? 3) Are China and other emerging markets generating enough domestic demand to reduce the world's dependence on the American consumer? Montek S.
