Crowcast, crickey you really love to quote obscure non entity economists you stumble across on Google don't you. I'm sure he'll feature prominently in the history of economics and isn't just another left wing hack who can't predict anything useful. Why can't you make an argument rather than post links? You are a little sir Echo who says "me too".

Crowcast you are clearly not too bright if you've taken 2 days to reply on the subject and that's the best you can do. Your initial point that the private sector can't maintain roads was nonsensical. You were clearly not aware what either market failure or a public good was till I raised the subject. Therefore I'm not apt to take a sermon from you when none of your conclusions are drawn from logic but a tiresome belief that only the political class knows best. You may as well quote the bible. Brexit shows clearly the political class don't know best and power should never ever be concentrated in the political class or large corporations.

Heardy spot on. The idea these ppl are better educated is a joke. They've spent 3 years at uni some shagging and/or getting pissed.

The yield curve is gerrymandered so much by the CB that it's hard to conclude what an inversion means now. Historically it's a sign a recession is about 2 years away.

Yes John contrast that with HS2. HS2 classic example of apaaling allocation of resources by the state.

Crowcast why on earth do you care about private investors losing their shirt? Better that than the state. Incredibly the railway network was created without central planning.

By your reckoning private enterprise can't do complex thing. Even by your standards that's a moronic argument crowcast.

Crowcast that is a lot of rot. If you were intelligent you might have brought up market failure and public goods then we could have had an intelligent discussion on the subject. Would have been a first with you. Bastiat describe your mentality perfectly, "government is the great fiction through which everyone endeavours to live at the expense of someone else". By your reckoning the privately owned Japanese rail network is crumbling. When I was there it was shiny and efficient. Odd that.

I just can't believe what a bureaucrat you are crowcast. Does Mrs crowcast regulate every mealtime in your house. Or do you outsource food to Wimpy? The private sector can't plan then. Lol

Crowcast you are probably unaware that the private sector built the railway network in this country. Hardly a stretch to imsgine roads could be built by private enterprise is it without the crowding out of the public sector. You seem unaware of the M6 toll road too. Your divine faith in government is touching, almost child like. You are the poster boy of the client state.

Spot on wids. All government do is tax and give it to their chronies. When they run out of ppl to tax they borrow money from the unborn. In an ideal world government would just maintain the rule of law and provide a standing army. Trouble is ppl enjoy a free lunch on their neighbours, who dies like free stuff (even though it's not free), hence government has grown beyond all sensible reach.

Levi 11 is a fair pe for this.

Bruce if you read the wealth of nations it tells you everything you need to know about economics. Smith nailed 99% of the subject right there. Academia now specialises in the key hole farting bits which are of precious little use to anyone in the real world. Non endogenous growth theory and the like. Yet they dontvyse their time well and were blindly unaware putting sub prime in triple A might be a bad idea in 2007. Can't remember the eeconomics tribe pre warning us of this obvious stupidity. Chaps like scfc here blew 30k on uni fees for an education they could have gotten for free at the local library.

Snige if you wonder who raided our private pensions it Gordan brown dividend raid which takes billions out of our pensions a year. The other robber was qe which ended the bond market as a true market with discovered rates. Bond trading now is simply a rigged market with central bankers creating and choosing millionaire bankers they like.

Exactly Bruce ask a physicist where the planets will be for the next 1000 years they can tell you with absolute precision using general relativity and mathematics. An economist can't forecast anything with accuracy beyond 30 days.

Scfc I take it you have a BA in economics. Enough said. Economists are the ppl who never correctly predict the future and make everyone else feel bad about it. If we judge economists on their ability to predict they are roughly as useful as a two sided coin. I fortunately studied a proper science not a pseudo science like you.

Was there a point you were going to argue on free trade? For someone so boastful about their degree from nowhere polytechnic you steer clear of specific points of discussion and just insult citing this is "what lots of ppl say" as your argument. Unimpressive.

Awax it's their chrony capitalism. Whereby they make millionaires out of ppl who erect lots of wind turbines even though ppl want cheap electricity. These are the faux investments qe has found its way to.

Crowcast you look at trade as a closed game. You and trump are cut from the same cloth. Open trade up with world, and you have more trade. You should get a role in parliament with your myopic thinking.

Bruce if this femme fatale gets anywhere near you Bruce shell probably have a large collection of toys I'm guessing. Proceed with caution. I dated a girl once who was very much in to leather etc and wanted to whip me. Wasn't my cup of tea at all.

Levi I like cheaney too. I think the church family is involved in them closely these days so the heritage in there. They sold the Church brand to Prada a few years back. Ppl who are church devotees claim the quality declined on being acquired by a fashion house. Certainly the design have gotten more out there.
