    Anyone heard of ' the Secret', that book or idea that you can will something into existence by asking the universe for it?

    That's the brand of economics we're currently working on. Move over Keynes and Mises.

    Or you could just label it as an attempt to talk up the market - which is called optimism, but more commonly known as lying or fraud.

    Hopium, the drug that keeps the markets up. Reality, the drug that keeps the markets up at night

    Well, some other magazine called Swan the World's Best Treasurer... so it would seem that free speech is alive and well ;)

    Still, it made me cringe.
