The occult world of economics
And when all other explanations fail to sound plausible, the experts fall back on "the law of supply and demand". But that law was repealed years ago; just try and explain the cost of gasoline based on it, as but one example.
Huono Suomennos:
Ja kun kaikki muut selitykset epäonnistuvat olemaan uskottavia, ekspertit perääntyvät "kysynnän ja tarjonnan lain" taakse. Mutta tuo laki on kumottu vuosia sitten; yritä selittää bensan hinta sen perusteella, yhtenä esimerkkinä.
Tiedätkö asiasta yhtään enempää? Onko vihjeitä? Linkkejä kenties?

Käviskö Paul Krugmanin ehdotus taloustilanteen korjaamiseksi okkultismista?

Paul Krugman sanoo: ... Inflaation aikaansaanti lamassa on hankalaa. Mutta jos hallitus investoisi ja keskuspankki rahoittaisi ja jos... lisäksi kerrottaisiin, että avaruusoliot hyökkäävät ja ihmiset ponnistelisivat kaikin voimin sen estämiseksi ja ... kun möykky olisi ohi 18 kuukaudessa voitaisiin sanoa, että oho, erehdyttiin, ei niitä olekaan olemassa.

Paul Krugman: Think about World War 2. That was not - that was actually
negative social product spending, and yet, it brought us out. I mean,
probably because you want to put these things together, if we say, look, we
could use some inflation. Ken and I are both saying that, which is, of
course, anathema to a lot of people in Washington but is, in fact, what
basic logic says. It's very hard to get inflation in a depressed economy.
But if you had a program of government spending plus an expansionary policy
by the Fed, you could get that. So, if you think about using all of these
things together, you could accomplish a great deal. If we discovered that
space aliens were planning to attack and we needed a massive build-up to
counter the space alien threat and really inflation and budget deficits took
secondary place to that, this slump would be over in 18 months. And then if
we discovered, oops, we made a mistake, there aren't any aliens, we'd be a
better -

Ken Rogoff: And we need Orson Welles, is what you're saying.
