I was going to write something scathing about Neil Clark’s latest little foray into matters economic:
and, last but not least, bringing back that unfairly maligned 1970s body- the Prices Commission.
But I find myself beaten to it by a comment on the piece:
"Sorry, the Prices Commission? Seriously? You want price-fixing back? What kind of economic illiterate are you?"
Neil Clark’s credentials as an economic visionary are discussed in depth at: http://timworstall.typepad.com/timworstall/2005/02/bring_back_the_.html
OK.

“If I ever received praise from the likes of Tim Worstall for my views on the economy, I’d be extremely worried!
Neil”
Tijm adds: Fair enough, but not as worried as I would be if I did praise his views.

It’s also hilarious that an unrepentant Communist is repeating the Telegraph’s statistics made-up to help the Tories as True Fact…

I seem to recall that Mr Clark designated J.K. Galbraith as the greatest economist of the twentieth century.

The man does economic rants? I thought he just did insane pro-genocide rants on Iraqi minorities…

Galbraith?
Not Mao or Kim Il-sung?
Gutless as well as stupid.
