[quote=Arraya]From an anonymous poster on another blog. Thought it was slightly relevant.
I think that many people that study economics are pretty conservative types and challenging what has been taught, and accepted, is a real break from their natural thought patterns. Consequently, they hang on to the theories, despite evidence to the contrary. That plays very well into the hands of politicians and leading bankers who seek to exploit an economic theory that supports their own actions.
Coming back to economics very many years down the track has been very interesting for me, and has confirmed many things I thought as a young graduate. I get a huge amount out of reading the bloggers who have a completely different perspective on economics. They are so much more focussed on the reality and not so much on the theory, and that sits well with my thoughts. They think in common sense terms, and I believe this is where economic thought has gone so terribly wrong.
Economics theory is soon to undergo a complete reversal in thought but it will take an undeniable collapse to bring that about[/quote]
Also agree with what he/she wrote. The bold part is especially compelling, IMHO.

July 7, 2010 at 7:19 AM #576005ArrayaParticipantInterestingly, here is a “fringe” blogger, that I have followed, and just found out that he is now being picked up by yahoo finance. He came out with a great power point back in 2008 “crash course”,., which I recommend.
Within the next 20 years, the most profound changes in economic history will sweep the globe. The economic chaos and turbulence that we are now experiencing are merely the opening salvos in what will prove to be a long, disruptive period of adjustment.
At least that’s my theory, and careful investors owe it to themselves to hear me out. If I’m right, long-term investing in stocks and bonds will deliver lackluster returns at best and be destroyers of wealth at worst.
To explain why, I need to tell you about how “Three Es” — the economy, energy and the environment — are interconnected and why we need to consider all three at once.
