On this day:

Give the man a series

Saw a great presentation on the world economy by Prof. Andrea Boltho in Hamburg on Friday. The Sicilian professor, a Fellow and tutor at Magdelen College, University of Oxford, brought what can be a dry and dusty topic brilliantly to life. Horace wrote that the purpose of comedy is "To tell the truth laughing". Well, the whole audience was roaring at Prof. Boltho's assertion that, "For the English, the euro is the work of the devil: if you touch it, you get plague, pestilence and AIDS." Someone should commission this guy to present a mainstream TV series on economics, it would be great viewing.
