Keynes

Getting to zero

I am in trouble. Big, big trouble. Not with my colleagues or friends — at least, as far as I know. But with my pet parrot, Maynard, who is named after Britain's most famous economist, John Maynard Keynes.

Honestly, it was a taxi fare

Confusion all round

Is it just my imagination, or is the world very confusing at the moment? Some German politicians wrongly think that Canada has intelligence tests for immigrants, while my taxi driver gives me a receipt for a night club. What's going on?

Paul A. Samuelson

There are no prizes for guessing who my favourite economist is — yes, of course, it is my brilliant parrot Maynard. But my favourite economics textbook when I was at school was by someone very different: Paul A. Samuelson.

Easy as ABC?

Most peopleassume that The Jackson Five's 1969 number one hit "ABC" was about love. But I have a different theory. I think they were trying to encourage young Americans — and, in particular, girls — to study economics.

Supply or demand?

Has the global recession been caused by Americans wanting to spend too much or the Chinese saving too much? Whatever the cause, the current problem is clear: global demand must be increased to avoid a massive recession.

Why Keynes is indeed the answer

My parrot Maynard hasn’t stopped smiling for weeks. It might be because he doesn’t have any money invested in the stock market. But I think it's because he's pleased that he's now back in fashion. Or, at least, somebody with the same name is.
