"And to compare economists to garbage, well that obviously means that I think all economists are garbage, including myself. " -Steven D. Levitt
For a humorous spin on the current economic crisis, read the the comments to Levitt's post.
Note: I do not intend to mock economists. I'm sharing these quotes because they fit the theme of the title of this blog.
Here are a few quotes:
"Both produce a Gross Domestic Product." -George
"Garbage creates micro-parasites. Economists create macro-parasites. Unchecked, both lead to epidemic catastrophes." -jbharshaw
"You don’t really notice them until things start to stink."— Cara
"Each one points to a stinky 2009." - Mitch
"You can learn a lot from both, if you take the time to look." -Chad Bergeron
