h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Okay, you've talked me into it PBS Where do I sign up for the revolution? It's time we slung these 's, idiots, shysters and wasters out. We could pack 'em all into enormous 's and jettison them.

Great article. I think I even understood it

Thank you - it is an enormous compliment to be told by anyone that they can even begin to understand what I write!

You can 'sign on' at N° 42 Howlers End, Benshasha, any timee between 03:47 and 04:18 on Thursdays (knock three times and ask for 'Hameed).
We find that this keeps all but the most intrepid at bay!

Economics is a bit complicated, isn't it? If you can explain a bit about it ("derivatives" and the like) and get a non-economist to understand it, then you must be good at explaining things.

Wise too, keeping yourself out of the way like that

Maybe I should send you my brief explanation as to the rather different was that the American and Benshasha stock markets work!!

Thank you Good idea. And how about submitting it to The Post? I'd certainly read that: Economics at a nice, sensible, human scale - with all the more extreme forms of jiggery-pokery stripped out (though, possibly, some of the easier to grasp ones left in? since we humans just can't help ourselves) and flows of resources that can be seen to balance. Contrasting the two systems could make it shockingly clear how twisted and unsustainable the western one has become.
