What this chap says echoes the lessons of Frederic Bastiat - http://www.econlib.org/library/Bastiat/basEss1.html - he talks about the good economist (who sees what is not seen in the immediate) and the bad economist (who sees only the immediate).
Nu Lab in particular seem only interested in the immediate. More fool them... (too many eedjits voted for them, more fool us).
"it consists in tracing the consequences of that policy not merely for one group but for all groups." There is only one group that matters to Labour. It is not their party either.
The First objective is to attain power and the second is to retain it.
Why, because they are all mentally unstable.
It should be made a disqualification criterion for anyone to be a politician before becoming one.
Good economics is about thinking and seeing through today's economic decisions.
Why do opposition politicians pay lipservice to that, because they can, without fear of unpopularity. They are focussed on achieving power (see objective 1)and this is a useful too to con the great unwashed
Why don't incumbent politicians do that, get somebody to do it for them or listen to people who have?
Go to objective 2
Politicians should be put down at birth or just maybe we could find the errant genes and normalise the shitbags before puberty.
