The irony is that the techniques and insights from this course - especially so many counter-intuitive ones - do not by any means <i>necessarily</i> produce a rabid pro-market graduate. So many doggedly left-wing people miss out on being able to advance their cause by eschewing this course because they think it is nothing but 'neoliberal ideology/propaganda.'Peter Pattonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2197051945822486684.post-69215759489385989912010-01-23T07:27:08.076+11:002010-01-23T07:27:08.076+11:00Jeffrey, thanks I have.

Maybe you've got a better chance - seriously, you're a medievalist!<br /><br />I am trying not to be too silly but the fact that parliament is full of bad lawyers with boundless faith in the law really disturbs me sometimes. It's the mark of a bad lawyer that he believes laws can do anything, right down to wearing underwear outside their trousers in telephone boxes...skepticlawyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09282438188120264295noreply@blogger.com
