Quando Picaretas Fingem Seriedade

Mervyn King ganhou notoriedade acadêmica publicando papers na Econometrica usando a econometria do oprimido do mago Muamar Galdalf.

And that will require two things, one is leadership of an unusually high order and [the other is] changes to the structure of the industry.”
