If they had lives of their own, one would have killed the other :p<br />And thanks to the economic crisis, we now have some sense brought in... Or at least lets think of it that way :)<br /><br />@Lakshmi<br />Glad you found it interesting... <br />Economics ideally should explain our day to day living; not abstract concepts like how it typically happens. You must check out these books :)<br /><br />@Aj<br />I have them both here. Will give it to you the next time we meet up...<br />Who doesn't like simplicity... I think its the need of the hour now, especially in our education system - to simplify things... :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18280781336779877452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609401562489083734.post-42667027609032913232010-01-24T12:16:31.169+05:302010-01-24T12:16:31.169+05:30Have been wanting to lay my hands on the book ever...Have been wanting to lay my hands on the book ever since you told me abt it. So part 2 is good too is it?<br /><br />And it's so true that Economics appears so difficult to comprehend because of the way it is presented. But, to be fair, there has always been so much happening around man-kind that to try and simplify things will always be one real problem. I love it when things are explained very simply. not just in economics, but also in maths, history, whatever. it helps ppl grasp things better.Ajaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06096062450350922403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609401562489083734.post-62326447480367184722010-01-24T09:36:53.435+05:302010-01-24T09:36:53.435+05:30I always thought economics is difficult to underst...I always thought economics is difficult to understand ... I thought it deals with abstract concepts and makes it all the more complex. Also I never took the trouble to try and understand it :D<br /><br />So the rogue economists have made it very easy and simple by relating it to real world situations huh. Nice. Good for people like me :)<br />I found the post informative man. Thanks!! Did some learning also..

The spartan views of the likes of Adam Smith do not hold any consensus or for that matter value today! <br /><br />Simply put, the government claims that inflationary pressure in India is at a low, but footsies on explain that the food inflation is quite another area! I'm wondering if that were not part of the inflationary index itself and why the need to treat it as another identity? But, for political purposes.........!<br /><br />Good thoughts here Issam! Very relevant in today's context, especially!Rakesh Vanamalihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03918768913569739758noreply@blogger.com
