The Wild West ... the outback ... The new world of the 1800s was a time of true liberty. People stood on their own merits.

This site is set up to provide a forum for a number of like minded professional economists to post and comment on contemporary issues. There are a number of regular contributors whose bios are made available on the site. Most if not all of these contributors use a pseudonym for the simple reason that they are practicing economists who must take into consideration the commercial implications of posting their opinions.

  • everyone loses their dignity
  • it becomes socially acceptable to wear track suits in public.

This could be Australia. Check out www.peopleofwalmart.com.
