welcome FringeMan

Yes, welcome Jim. I get the feeling a certain other economist and long-time babbler has been using reverse psychology to encourage us all to learn more. I could be wrong. I think Stephen does a good job of explaining things in laymans' terms and poses some challenging ideas and concepts to us. But I think it's really easy to get wires crossed and misunderstandings to occur to the point of frustration when this kind of thing is discussed. The book is a great idea, and I still have a copy of "Just Making Change, the 100 percent pure, honest to goodness truth..." Like the character "Neo" in the movie, The Matrix, that one was one of my first "red pills", so to speak. The fix is in, Jim. Big time.
