QUICK - before it goes!
BBC Radio 4 - Teaching Economics After the Crash
http://www.911forum.org.uk/board/viewtopic.php?p=169074#169074
At universities from Glasgow to Kolkata,
economics students are fighting their tutors over
how to teach the subject in the wake of the
crash. The Guardian's senior economics
commentator, Aditya Chakrabortty, reports from
the frontline of this most unusual and important academic war.
The banking crash plunged economies around the
world into crisis - but it also created questions
for economics itself. Even the Queen asked why
hardly any economists saw the meltdown coming.
Yet economics graduates still roll out of exam
halls and off to government departments or the
City with much the same toolkit that, just five
years ago, produced a massive crash.
Now economics students around the world are
demanding a radical change of course. In a
manifesto signed by 65 university economics
associations from over 30 different countries,
students decry a 'dramatic narrowing of the
curriculum' that they say prefers algebra to the
real world and teaches them there's only one way to run an economy.
As fights go, this one is desperately ill-matched
- in one corner, young people fighting to change
what they're taught; in the other, the academics
who've built careers researching and teaching the
subject. Yet the outcome matters to all of us, as
it is a battle over the ideas that underpin how we run our economies.
Aditya meets the students leading arguing for a
rethink of economics. He also talks to major
figures from the worlds of economics and finance,
including George Soros, the Bank of England's
chief economist Andy Haldane, and Cambridge author Ha-Joon Chang.

"The maintenance of secrets acts like a psychic
poison which alienates the possessor from the community" Carl Jung

Fear not therefore: for there is nothing covered
that shall not be revealed; and nothing hid that
shall not be made known. What I tell you in
darkness, that speak ye in the light and what ye
hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. Matthew 10:26-27
Die Pride and Envie; Flesh, take the poor's advice.
Covetousnesse be gon: Come, Truth and Love arise.
Patience take the Crown; throw Anger out of dores:
Cast out Hypocrisie and Lust, which follows whores:
Then England sit in rest; Thy sorrows will have end;
Thy Sons will live in peace, and each will be a friend.

Please consider seriously the reason why these elite institutions are not discussed in the mainstream press despite the immense financial and political power they wield?
There are sick and evil occultists running the Western World. They are power mad lunatics like something from a kids cartoon with their fingers on the nuclear button! Armageddon is closer than you thought. Only God can save our souls from their clutches, at least that's my considered opinion - Tony
