There is this particular Yoruba film. Apesin, I had a lot of time for. An historical epic as TOH put it.

The story line was engaging, fresh, the acting was pretty good.

That was enough to make the inevitable production faults unimportant.

Highly recommended

When did Rule of Law as a principle become so pertinent in Nigeria.

Did these thieves excercise the Rule of Law in their privileged positions in office. Now they want to manupulate this Rule of Law to
their advantage.

There is a Public Interest issue here.

I posit that it is in the interest of the Public that these cases should be prosecuted without delay, as Prima Facie they are as guilty as I am of womanising

I must say I am surprised by Chris Paul.

I used to watch him at Wake Forest and although he was good, I did not realise he was going to be that good.

Bar Baron Davis, Nash and Deron Williams, I cant think of a better PG.

When Kidd rediscovers his shot- - - -I will put him on the list.

Jackal:
@ Doyin13,

You will be better off analysing women's undies on PLAYBOY TV.
Meanwhile, is that u in your profile?
Blimey . . . . . . .I don't know who looks better between u and Taribo West.
Matter of fact, u need intensive cosmetic surgery.

hehehehe. . .dont get it twisted. Taribo looks way better

Try as I might to rationalise the necessity of restricting the movement of his people. . .i realise it is a hopeless excercise

[quote author=I-man link=topic=103154.msg1814030#msg1814030 date=1199291421]The success of a model is best judged by its outcome.We know for certain that Klein's model has been an abject failure but free market economies have been a roaring success.There is a proven link between the extent of economic freedoms adopted by a nation and its economic growth.

To put free market economies on the same level as communist economies is ridiculous.

How many developed countries still adopt Keynesian policies? Very few people still believe that Roosevelt's New Deal policies are the elixir for economic stagnation.

The lessons of Friedman-lower taxes,lowering barriers to trade,lesser economic regulation-have been behind major economic success stories like Ireland and Singapore.

Of course,not all of MF's ideas are agreeable-removing all trade barriers can render developing nations industrial sector's vulnerable to collapse owing to imports from stronger economies.The early history of the Asian Tigers-Taiwan,Japan,S.Korea,e.t.c illustrated that some measure of import barriers may be necessary to protect embryonic industries.However,lowering trade barriers,as opposed to a total barrier-free import policy,does help countries concentrate on where they have comparative advantage instead of coddling wasteful inviable industries .[/quote]But Iman - - - - - - -once you start making exceptions you stop being a free marketer. There can be no buts cause according to laissez faire economists(Friedman, Hayek, van Mises) all planning is bad.

Take your example of protecting embryonic industries in developing nations. The Hayekian refrain is governments cannot possibly know how to determine for example which industries will need protection or how much protection such industries would required if they decide on which products to protect. It would be equivalent to what Friedman called trying to do good and end up doing bad because according to this school of thought knowledge is dispersed in society and it would require a superior brain of which the world has never seen to analyse such data.

The irony is that such policies endanger the democratic principles which the likes of Friedman are so concerned to protect. Socialism and Fascism were I would as has been argued a result of the laissez faire faire hands off positions of OLD EUROPE. They simply lay supine while their populace suffered the dire consequences of the down cycles of capitalism. Alternatives were quickly sought and provided most disastrously by the Nazis.

It is this obstinacy to hold their positions in the face of the dire consequences of their theoretical premises that pits these two schools together in my opinion and sets Keynes apart.

Keynesian economics does not equate to New Deal policies. Mba

The essence of Keynesian economics was to argue against simply doing nothing while the capitalist system was under undue stress. That, as you have intoned here, such policies which were meant to e short sharp injections of stimulus should gain a degree of permanence with the so called Post war consensus is unfair and untrue to Keynesian economics.

His economics was way more flexible and is the foundation upon which modern day economic policies are run.

The policy of adjusting interest rates to avoid recessions or fight inflation is anathaemic to classical economists but is classic Keynesianism.

So is the selective protection of industries- - - -a policy position which Keynes suggested to the British government in the 1930's when such a policy direction was soooooooo unfashionable.

So I put it to you that Keynes won the debate with Hayek and his followers as well as against the commies.

His is a humanist interventionist position as against the soulless mechanistic theoretical dictats of Marxist/Communism and Laissez Faire/Friedmanite/Hayekian economics

What if it does end up on one of these 'glossies'

How many don enter these glossies that they have had to recall after discovering it killed people rather than aided them

Dont 'cynic-ate'-----------congratulate

NB. That is not to say I will be taking any of the Tablets anytime soon.

Jackal- - - - -did you just praise Drogba in your post above.

Well I have to eat some humble pie- - - - - - -my analysis has been nonsense SO FAR

Ronaldo had a cerebral assist yesterday

Tevez has managed better than I thought

and even Dudu all of a sudden is scoring goals after I said he couldn't hack it in this league.

Thank God I dont analyse for a living. . . Although one or two flutters came through during the year.
Hoping for a good '08 as well

In my opinion-commies such as the Klein Lady and free market economists like Friedman are opposite extremes sewn out of the same cloth.

One says do everything to prevent the world from burning---------the other says do nothing even if the world is in the pits .

JM Keynes is the master economist- - - - -the moderating voice that animates all economic policy around the world wherever you go.
