Much the same perverse deferred satisfaction can be gained from reading Anatole Kaletsky's economic opinions. <br /><br />When reading these (and others') confident predicitions, I recall Lord Melbourne's words about Lord Macaulay: "I wish I was as certain of anything as Tom Macaulay is of everything."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6905040611865595428.post-67903185703788075092010-02-08T10:24:40.248+00:002010-02-08T10:24:40.248+00:00Glad you agree.

Whatever Mogg advocates is almost always wrong. <br /><br /> Sadly, the indicator is not 100% reliable, or I would have claimed whatever copyrights or patents to which I might be eligible. Nevertheless, it is a very handy filter to apply to the great questions of the day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
