Kracklite - Matthew Arnold called economics "the dismal science" because of its materialistic reductionism, but I feel that the label is more appropriate because the scientific methodology is dismal.
One of my fave lectures once said "I have a PhD in economics, so you don't have too." -
Sofie -Yep! I keep thinking "Team America" though.:-)
Is that the nude puppet sex scene? -
Simon please read page 57, Table 2.05.

In short it says workforce participation for Pacific Islanders is higher than that of Poms (of working age).
62.4% Poms working in NZ
63.2% PIs working in NZ
70.1% NZs working in NZThis is why Clydesdale has shot himself in the foot. His stats were years out of date, & he has applied them wrongly.
You might want to listen to his defense again as there is not much of a basis to it. He has discredited himself.
$5 says he doesn't speak at the conference in Rio. It's funny how sometimes conferences run late, hmm.

It's snowing in Christchurch :) Yay

Simon could you please site some evidence to debate?
The main issue with Clydesdale is that he hasn't done that. He doesn't back himself with facts.
The Beatles don't cut it as facts, and his facts have failed all three NZ academic reviews!

Clydesdales walks along the beach at night?
Well we've found the connection between him and Lockwood Smith. Anyone got the footage of Lockwood Smith prancing on the beach in speedos?The only data I recall being discussed was how Clydesdale counted 15yr olds as Skilled Labour, which they clearly aren't - they're family. Pretty serious flaw.
He backs his paper up with stories about the Beatles & how Ringo played chess. Um WTF?
He goes on to point out HIS GRADUATES DON"T GET JOBS!
-
The DomPost on stuff have quoted that "some are critical, some supportive and some are neutral".
Supportive of what exactly, Clydedale himself, academic freedom, or his findings?
No-one has supported his findings.Clydesdale did have it peer reviewed and publicised/publish inspite of negitive peer review, that is quite astonishing.

A Bi-Caramel system sounds sweet ;-)

Clydesdales last effort:
"Economic decline and the failure of Chinese Entreperneurs"http://mises.org/journals/qjae/pdf/qjae10_2_5.pdf
Chinese Treaties in the wake of the Opium Wars are known as Unequal Treaties, which I thought might have been worth a mention. Instead Clydesdale states it's the incompatable values of the Chinese, not the unequal treaties that create their "entrepeneurial failure".
So Western Values are therefore better than Chinese Values, not the unequal treaties, drugs & guns used to stupify and passify the biggest economy the world has ever seen.

It was published last year & and has rough average of 30yr old refferences, the newest is 9 yrs old.

Geoff - faux academic? or is it a matter that the mail order college is faux academia?
