we were trying to explain how politicians should respond to the oil price shock in terms of real business theory vs keynesian theory. then i blurted out, there are two people you can’t argue with: (1) priest – cos s/he will invoke the ‘God is the Truth’ and (2) economist – cos s/he will invoke the ‘it depends on what your assumption is’.
imagine the nightmare if you have to argue with an economist who is also a priest.
Lol! Good one…
