Hello Bob,   
      
    LL>> ago.  Writing styles have changed.  Technology has changed.   
    LL>> But the dismal science remains exactly what it has always   
    LL>> been - the most poorly understood (and misunderstood)   
    LL>> branch of science in existence.   
      
   BK>Economics is not a science in any real sense of the word.   
      
   That is why it is known as the "dismal" science.   
      
   BK>Economics is the only field in which two people, holding   
   BK>diametrically opposite views, have received the Noble Prize in   
   BK>successive years.   
      
   Milton Friedman's "austerity" economics seems to be the rule   
   for European economics these days.  And look at what is happening   
   in Greece, Spain, etc.   
      
   BK>See the tagline.   
      
   BK> .. "all the world's economists, laid end-to-end, could not   
   BK>reach a conclusion"   
      
   But at least they tried.  :)
