Introduction I am a research economist in the banking industry with a professional interest in international macroeconomics, monetary economics, financial economics and development economics. I keenly debate economic policy with a view to seeking to inform both policy and business decisions. In that pursuit, I try to present my views as plainly as possible, in instances getting under the skin of those in the court of conventional thinkers. I know that plain-speak can sometimes be taken as provocative. If that is the case, then it is not by accident. For the legendary economist John Maynard Keynes once quipped that "words ought to be a little wild, for they are the assault of thoughts on the unthinking". I welcome economists as well non-economists to this blog.
