On economics and how it relates to

[Don1]

Thank you sir!

Don, I meant to ask you before...how did you survive pre this site? You LOVE this shyte! LoL

Keep it up and enjoy. I find great pleasure in reading your posts, even when I disagree!

Thanks for the support!

How did you know?? Pre-forum, my on-line life was very boring. Now with the colourful, articulate, wise and thoughtful denizens I've found here..... a whole new world has opened up to me.

Life on-line is now worth living.

I know what it is noted for. However, given some of the pedigree over there it certainly isn't laughable for a man to say he is talking to economists from over there.

Notable economists exist in diverse places, Silicon Valley and St Lucia included.
My point was that that place is NOT noted for that specialty so to state (as in a manner to suggest that readers may/should be impressed) that one is consulting with Silicon Valley economists...... I found that laughable and now that I've thought more about it .... it's borderline hysterical!

The book was not written on Ja. It only serves as
a lantern to the ills. Although very powerful; I will not tell you that this book is the end all for Ja's economics.

Quick question: Have you read this book per chance?

I have not read the book. I'm familiar with game theory though. I await your full assimilation of its teachings and then the insightful analysis of the Jamaican economy and its prospects under the current administration.

Good luck.

I only scoffed at the
notion of casino gambling because Ben said advice. Yes you would find some quality MBAs and economists over there.

Silicon Valley is noted for engineers, not economists. Granted Stanford is a top notch school, but Boston is far more reknown!

Laughable? There are quite a few well respected/famous top notch economists on that side of the U.S. Not sure what is laughable about it.

That's not really a place noted for its economists.... definitely not to the point of boasting! Laughable indeed.

The problem I have with your opening statement is that you seem to have reached a conclusion on Jamaica's economic affairs BEFORE you have completed this book which you seem to expect to endow you with special gifts and insight.

Ja:

I selected this book (Theory of games and economic behavior by Von Neumann and Morgenstern), the book in itself has been an eye opener for
me. Why an eye opener? Seeing that I'm no expert nor authority in the field of economics; I always thought economic behaviour was at best unpredictable. Unpredictable due to its many variables which in itself weren't linear.

Von Neumann et al has shown me that yes there can be non linearity but
within a closed system. What causes this closed system? Laws, public policies and regulations by government. These dictate how the economics
of a nation would turn out. In today's society we may extend it to the global economy.

Based on the above; attempts can be made to show the behaviour of the economics of the island nation of Ja. The book is vast and I must confess that I did not finish it (have some way to go). On completion I will confidently march to this site and show why the present govt. is on a path to alienate and consequently doom the island in the info age.

Nice,

Start with a conclusion and then find any means to support it. Missah Neumann is your new Marcus Garvey? LoL

J, do you know how you sound to others?

Jawge.... you think you are well dressed but in reality you are as naked as the day you were born.

Your argument is not based on critical thought.. if it was, your sorry a$$ would have been on this 'track' YEARS ago.

Talk to Paulwell about the 'info age'.. while you are chatting ask him where the INTECH money deh.. also ask him why wi cyaan find nuh space in Kingston fi expand off-shore/near-shore services.. also verify the rumor that a leading Industry player think the heart outputs are a joke and has to retrain them, also query why finding people that can talk proper english is challenging...

Meantime.. put on some clothes please.. man-horse physiology is freaking out the kids.

Hearts outputs a joke?
A nuh Sass yuh a lick-dun?

[Don1]

Silicon Valley economists??

Ben, any true scholar would want to
own the book for themselves (assuming you are the critical thinker you claim).

Are these economists from Silicon Valley telling you about casino gambling? Ben tek back yuh moneyLOL

Ben respect still and thanks for the offer.

[Islandman]

So you are a govt consultant working in the IT and communications field or something like that?

Keep us up-to-date on the plans the new govt have for this sector. Paulwell set such a low bar it shouldn't be hard to show some progress.

[Muadib]

No, Yendi is not an economist and I don't believe her World View is advanced enough.

If you are serious I will get you on the list.. then you can do battle with some yard connected heavy hitters from the Valley.

Be warned though... frauds are easily and quickly exposed...
