I like that she raises the kinds of questions that the "markets are irrational" camp would raise, and then gives the professor room to respond.<br /><br />This one was fun: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_spYjHIJqwAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-582368152716771238.post-23444852582169024512012-09-08T12:44:14.160-05:002012-09-08T12:44:14.160-05:00tbft he is having a bad hair day but i think he di...tbft he is having a bad hair day but i think he did wellgrumpy but gorgeoushttp://www.iwestmidlands.co.uk/profile/770732/Birmingham/Grumpy-But-Gorgeous-/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-582368152716771238.post-40525078159358786262012-09-08T09:00:55.506-05:002012-09-08T09:00:55.506-05:00Professor-- I'd be less concerned about a bad ...Professor-- I'd be less concerned about a bad hair day and MUCH more concerned about MY ability to stay focused on economics when being interviewed by Betty Liu.

On one hand you beleive the Fed is not the solution yet champion the notion the Fed can induce the jolt the economy needs using psychological game theory and a two factor PCA model.<br /><br />Deep down you must beleive both fiscal and monetary policy are to blame for this.
