MHT#12 - The Dismal Science: Foolish Forecasts #2

In this episode, Nick compares astrology to the Dismal Science of economics. It revisits an ongoing theme of the Money Hat-Tip: forecasting is for fools. Nick talks his dear listener through an astrological forecast of his compatibility with The Lovely Penelope; quotes economist JK Galbraith dumping on his profession; and has a good laugh (and drops his wine glass in shock) at some idiocy from Paul Krugman, another economist. Along the way he references Reggie Perrin and CJ; reads out a lovely review left on iTunes; reveals a hankering for the blonde one out of Abba. LINKS: Info on JK Galbraith Paul Krugman’s infamous 1998 quote The best economics book bar none Brilliant spoof of economic news reporting Abba’s Agnetha in all her hip-swaying glory ========== Any comments or feedback gratefully received. Likewise with suggestions for future shows. Get in touch with Nick on Twitter or via good old email. AND LEAVE A FIVE STAR REVIEW ON iTUNES - OR ELSE. @HatTipNick [email protected] www.v2vfp.co.uk
