richius, since he is clearly the least-keynesian of the list.

I'll take David S over Dibble, because he's more hardcore on these things like I am.

Bono should have been included.  I was a few credits short of a double major with econ. but I loathed the subject after
intro.  Bono really loves the subject and has a good deal of knowledge in the area.  I disagree with his views but he is a smart young man.

Thank you. :$

Gabu or Dibble. Dibble would be good because he would come up with alot of interesting ideas and I usually agree alot with what he says. Gabu would be good because he would probably put forward pragmatic, moderate, economic measures that would be exceptable to everyone but yet would be able to solve certain economic crises that arise.

Milton Friedman... oh, what poster?  In that case, the mysterious NOTA.

I hope you intend to get elected pretty soon, because Friedman is in his 90s.

He still seems pretty active.  He's been pushing for Social Security reform.  He is the greatest modern economist.

Alright, if you say so. But, if I'm not mistaken, you're fond of supply-side economics?

Obviously he's not the one you're looking for. The people who dislike plutocracy are
BRTD, bandit, me, nclib, and perhaps Opebo.

I'd recommend me or nclib.

Anyone who supports one theory of economics above all others is an idiot.  They each have there merits and each can deal with different problems.

In the 1930s there was a need for some redistribution to keep people afloat until the economy picked back up.  It should have been eliminated during WWII.  Taxes should have been reduced dramatically to grow the economy following the war.  We could ahve avoided the problems of the 1950s if we had.

In 1980 supply side economics worked wonders for the economy.  It should have had more spending cuts along with it.

In the early to mid 90's a mostly hands-off approach was the right way to go.  Once the flaws in the bubble started appearing in 1998 there should ahve been some regulation to soften the blow of the bubble bursting though.

That's an interesting theory. Do you favor it above all others?

Smiley   But it is not a theory on economics; it is a statement of fact.

Several times, actually.  I think you would never make it out of the mail room.  Wink
