FEAR?



Give me control of a nation's money 
and I care not who makes the laws.

A Dark Age of Macroeconomics




I think, is that we’re living in a Dark Age of macroeconomics. 
Remember, what defined the Dark Ages wasn’t the fact that they were primitive — the Bronze Age was primitive, too. 
What made the Dark Ages dark was the fact that so much knowledge had been lost, 
that so much known to the Greeks and Romans had been forgotten by the barbarian kingdoms that followed.

Δραστική



-Poderá ser DRÁSTICO...
Mas eu não sei quanto..., disse, 
em voz tão lenta 
quanto parkinsónica 

Δραστική

Δραστική quer apenas dizer  activo.

Did I mention that the European Central Bank — although not, thankfully, the Federal Reserve — seems determined to make things even worse by raising interest rates?  - Paul Krugman

All euro area Member States will adhere strictly to the agreed fiscal targets, 
improve competitiveness and address macro-economic imbalances. 
Public deficits in all countriesexcept those under a programme 
will be brought below 3% by 2013 at the latest. 
In this context, 
we welcome the budgetary package recently presented by the Italian government
which will enable it to bring the deficit below 3% in 2012 
and to achieve balance budget in 2014. 
We also welcome the ambitious reforms undertaken by Spain in the fiscal, 
financial and structural area. 
As a follow up to the results of bank stress tests, 
Member States will provide backstops to banks as appropriate.

LAST FLIGHT



High Flight
.
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds, — and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of — wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air. . . .

Up, up the long, delirious burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or ever eagle flew —
And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
.
 — John Gillespie Magee, Jr
Pilot Officer Gillespie Magee
No 412 squadron, RCAF
Killed 11 December 1941
.
On 3 September 1941, Magee flew a high altitude (30,000 feet) test flight in a newer model of the Spitfire V. 
As he orbited and climbed upward, 
he was struck with the inspiration of a poem — 
"To touch the face of God."
