Are you saying I’m a fogey?

You’re right

Do you know these guys?
No. I was at the University of Leicester for a while but these guys joined after I’d left. Good to see political economy in both their job titles.
One of my favourite tracks too – an all time great!
Two days ago you were assessing the use of podcasts and I suggested a short punchy presentation. Playing The Who here this morning put a smile on my face. You could not have followed that idea more closely.
In the recent Keynes v Hayek debate there were those who discussed Pinochet’s control of Chile and his influence on Margaret Thatcher. It brought to mind a moving song by Latin Quarter, which I still have on tape but no record of the title so I cannot find it on Youtube. Perhaps some of your readers may recall it.
The big difference, in my view, between 1914 and today, is that many of us now have much more information about how the international bankers and their allies are operating thanks to the internet. This is a CIA tool though and may be restricted or terminated at any time if it is perceived to be a threat either nationally or internationally.
