> Kenneth Rogoff, a Harvard economist and author of “The Curse of Cash”, argues that economists are more temperamentally inclined to talk about cutting-edge concepts like QE than the prosaic question of how banknotes are actually produced. “Economists tend to think ‘it’s not Keynesian macro so it doesn’t matter’,” he said.
That fucker's definitely got a bee in his bonnet about Keynesian macroeconomics. But after his Excel fiasco -- that was him, wasn't it? -- he knows he's too much of a laughing stock to dare come out against it in the open, so he's reduced to petty knee-height snipes like this. Hope he chokes on his bile.
