The Institute for Economic Affairs will be too high to concentrate

Posted on June 3 2018

I am amused by the gig, drawn to my attention by Andy Crow:

First, I love the fact that they'll only be able to concentrate for 45 minutes.

And that the event will be followed by drinks.

Really?

Drinks?

Pull the other one.....

    They are worried!!

    “We cant have this mass, world wide delusion of the governments having no money of their own blown away by the spread of MMT on social media” they exclaim….

    “How can we prevent this?”

    ………

    “Get them stoned! – they’ll never be able to wrap their little heads around it if we get them high as a kite!”

      Tony,

      It’s just a stop gap between ‘Religion being the opiate of the masses’, and opiates being the opiate of the masses. 🙂

      I appreciate that it is ‘bad form’ to go off topic in a thread, but ‘mea culpa’, and I shall proceed anyhow! The threads on the Scottish Growth Commission Report (SGCR) are all closed, so I am reduced to subterfuge; raising the matter here.

      In spite of Richard’s justifiable critique of Sterlingisation (with which I agree), I confess to being less troubled by such ‘supposed’ set-backs to the debate. This is an ongoing process, much water will (and must) flow under that particular bridge, and I see the SGCR as an opportunity (one that Unionism actually finds very hard to join, or to articulate a robust argument, especially in the context of Brexit). Craig Dalzell has wasted no time in engaging the argument with Sterlingisation in the SGCR, and trenchantly rebutting it. It is noticeable that he also appears to take a positive view of this process, and of the contribution to debate made by the SGRC in spite of the SGCR’s curious choice of Sterlingisation. Dalzell’s paper ‘The Silver Chain’, is at the following link:

      Now if we could just persuade Randall Wray to write on a Scottish currency v. Sterlingisation, that would be provide even more momentum! This debate nevertheless could provide exactly that to the Scottish currency issue – momentum.
