Of Walla's links, I like the last one by Zarinah the most.
Like they say, "economics is the painful and excruciating elaboration of the obvious".
But the joke: Three econometricians went out hunting, and came across a large deer. The first econometrician fired, but missed, by a meter to the left. The second econometrician fired, but also missed, by a meter to the right. The third econometrician didn’t fire, but shouted in triumph, “We got it! We got it!”
Guess you guys are immune to these, huh?
On the Fed's comic book (I was actually anxiously scrolling down to see if any of the superheroes will appear..but no), scrolled down further and didn't see yr comments either.
Take it that you don't find anything disagreeable in it.
I on the other hand have much distrusts on the Feds.
I think many economists have a sense of humour, its just that the jokes tend to be rather obscure (as most of the jokes on that page show).
Ref the comic, to be honest I didn't think it was completely accurate - all that talk about changes in reserves affecting the supply of credit is pure textbook stuff and not quite what actually happens on the ground. But apart from that and a couple of other points, its a relatively simple exposition of monetary economics, without getting into the math.
An applied and practicing economist in the Malaysian financial sector.
The purpose of this blog was first to have a way to put down and present my ideas, work in progress, and thoughts on the Malaysian economy. The second reason was to hopefully attract critiques and feedback, that would help me improve on my own understanding of the way the world works, or at least, this little corner of it.
Thanks, hishamh.
