“Macroeconomists have predicted 9 out of the last 5 recessions.”

As a recovering economist, Yoram Bauman’s condensed version of Mankiw’s ten principles of economics, had me laughing. Especially the dig at macro. Worth watching, it’ll save you years of expensive graduate education. Bauman says John Rogers inspired him to do standup. So how long before he’s writing Blue Beetle?

There’s also a text version of Bauman’s routine in the Annals of Improbable Research. But watch the video. [via John O and Kottke]

    Hi Bill! Thanks for that, I needed a laugh! (reminds me of my last economics instructor, only not, which is why he was the last and logically enough after that i became an artist instead of an accountant)
