My preferences

The Rules: Don't take too long to think about it. Fifteen authors (poets included) who have always influenced you and will always stick with you. List the first 15 you can recall in no more than 15 minutes, and they don't have to be listed in order of relevance to you. Tag at least 15 friends, including me, because I'm interested in seeing what authors my friends chose. (To do this, go to your Notes tab on your profile page, paste the rules in a new note, list your 15 picks, and tag your friends.)

Our present and future economy: where does EU stand?

We already are in a world with low inflation and by the way with low yield for bonds and cash. Innovation, competition and globalism create a decrease of prices by a better allocation of resources, on the contrary, a monetary expansion, which is questioned about its role in growth,  distorts the economy and increases the prices of goods notably those exchanged outside or marginally outside the global market.

Regression to the mean



"Ce qui gouverne une nation en démocratie, c'est la distribution des votes. Il y a un fort consensus autour de l'électeur médian. C'est une loi d'airain, pour l'homme politique, de saisir le vote de l'électeur médian. C'est l'électeur médian qui impose la redistribution. Pour cette classe moyenne, il faut qu'il y ait davantage de subventions que de taxation. Le seul moyen pour l’État d'y parvenir est de faire du déficit, financé par la dette publique."

Bertrand Lemennicier.
