Nouriel Roubini, Larry Elliott, George Soros, and…..Tim Worstall!
Tim Worstall, a fellow of the Adam Smith Institute, writing his column on Forbes says he has been predicting the euro’s demise since before its creation.
He writes: “As I’ve been saying for years, the euro is bound to fall over, the euro will inevitably fail as a common currency, quite simply because it has been imposed on something which is not anywhere close to being an optimal currency area. You may try to ignore economics but that doesn’t mean that economics is going to ignore you.”
Clearly “influential” is more elastic in meaning than I had thought.

Can you arrange it for the Chancellor to forget about my taxes now you are one of the “big people”?
Thanks!

The article was excellent, as was the Wall Street Journal, but I see a theme. Are you sucking up to the media moguls? Is Ted Turner next, followed by GMG?
Tim Adds: Tsk, I’ve already written pieces for GMG. New CiF editor thinks I’m evil though so she won’t hire me.
Sucking up? Yes, I’m skint (a supplier is 8 months late in supplying, thus business revenues are rather down) and scribbling at least pays the mortgage.

I like to think no one is influential until David Icke calls them an interplanetary shape-changing reptilian humanoid.
So perhaps TW has become an honorary lizard? I like to think so, so in commemoration, I would also like to present Tim Worstall with the Order of the Iguana.
