"If economics is all about money and nothing else, Iains and Tory-style, then I don't want to know."

the branch of knowledge concerned with the production, consumption, and transfer of wealth.
What a funny little fellow you are shaw. Your warblings clearly demonstrate that you do not know about economics and you clearly state that you do not want to know- Yet to continue to chitter on as though you have a minimum of a PhD in the subject! Deluded or what?
