A year into my blog, I find a need to break. What a year it has been covering world economics. From the threat of inflation to its wild swing into deflation, events have led to a point where no economic doctrine was safe from intense scrutiny and questioning. It was a year to think unconventionally, yet it was also a year to remember what may have been conventional but recently forgotten.
How will I look back to these writings a year or two from today? Who knows? I haven't been shy with the projections and semi-predictions. Some have come to pass, many may yet prove erroneous, some I believe will yet come about as I expect.
Perhaps I will get back after a year's absence. But for now, I wish you all well in your endeavors.
About Me
- Rogue Economist
- Toronto, Canada
- I chose economics as my specific area of conversation because of its relevance to current world problems. And ever since I read Joseph Stiglitz’ Globalization and its Discontents, I have come to realize that what we sometimes know to be correct prescriptions to economic problems could actually be, if you think about it, making problems worse. His book convinced me that we really don’t know enough about economics for anyone to be a fool-proof prescriptive policy adviser. Each case is different, and requires a specific inquiry into its own circumstances.
