My apologie...Interesting sense of humor, very dry. My apologies for misunderstanding your intent, I've too often read such nonsense proposed as serious fact. Economies represent a complex system that cannot be directly predicted, even through hard math (except by trends which have an inherent and understood range of accuracy). Influencing these complex systems requires a careful touch and a willingness to learn as the system teaches you how it works. Forcing it to bend to your will will only result in disaster. It is a topic of some interest to me as of late.Blensterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01191718226772916568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15356117.post-1136911803890438202006-01-10T16:50:00.000+00:002006-01-10T16:50:00.000+00:00@live the future and @blenster: agreed that this w...@live the future and @blenster: agreed that this wont happen. but let me tell you that whenever economists forecast furute, they tend to look at an extreme end of economic reasoning that is purely mathematical in nature and extremely inflexible when it comes to reality, because there is always this excuse and life guard along with such theories, that is, "other things remaining the same". yeah a classic eg, is Goldman Sach's prediction that india will be the top 3 among nations by 2050. ok, every one likes the good news. i was only trying to forecast the other extreme. its no better or no worse than such rhetoric, just that it is in the other extreme.. as for the post, it was a humorous one, that indirectly asserted that such rhetoric should not be taken seriously...jalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00382484113284055126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15356117.post-1136903876349131292006-01-10T14:37:00.000+00:002006-01-10T14:37:00.000+00:00I agree with Live the Future, you have displayed n...I agree with Live the Future, you have displayed no real grasp of economics at all.

And,...Tsk tsk, what a pessimistic vision you have. And, IMHO, not very realistic. Were you prognosticating for the whole world, or just your little corner of it?<BR/><BR/>Your predictions also seem to perpetuate two myths which I vehemently disagree with: first, that "the rich" are evil, and second, that "the poor" are powerless. But maybe whether one believes those myths or not is a function of one's cultural and social/socioeconomic upbringing.<BR/><BR/>For a somewhat (ahem) rosier view of the future, albeit from an Evil American Capitalist viewpoint, <A HREF="http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/5.02/ffsimon.html" REL="nofollow">check this out</A>.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17723446194308623851noreply@blogger.com
