It works because it works

Friday, 4th May 2007

If you haven't already come across it, I do recommend Tim Worstall's site for a daily refresher in economics good sense. I liked this today:

Martin Jacques:

"It is no surprise that neoliberal economic thinking still predominates. New Labour enthusiastically embraced the central tenets of Thatcherism and has presided over an extremely long boom."

Glad we've got that sorted out then. "Neo-liberal economic thinking" prevails simply because it works. Excellent.
