That is so true. The things economist are always saying as they were Universal laws and going to TV to explain what can not be explained is exactly about that.
Reality is very powerful, we can not fool reality. They can only talk about a human comportment, let us say Science , to explain what just happened. It is a pity that most of them didn't have any clue about what was going to happen on a near future.
And tomorrow when caught in a big surprise, they will come again and with the same face of witchdoctors and try to explain what can not be explained and again and again.
I just said some time ago to pro-eminent Portuguese economist, tell me just one thing you are absolutely sure it will happen in 12 months from now, write it on the paper and sign it, that I will make the same only my sentence will be the reverse of yours.
Well he lost and I have the paper to prove it. What kind of Science is this one that have no laws? And only one thing for certain is that they lose their money as we do. The only difference is that they have more to lose.
Witchcraft of modern times our grandsons will laugh very laud, when they look at the past and will say: Gran-pa please how could Economy ever be a Science as we did to our ancestors that believed in Witchdoctors with his barbarian treatments.
