1. Karl Whelan on whether we need more PhD Economists in the civil service
2. Stephen Kinsella on the road to recovery

4. The Keynes/Hayek rap is up to over 350,000 hits - report.

The "we can make you behave" is probably a reference to Paul McKenna who writes best sellers books like "i can make you thin/rich". As far as I know, he is heavily influenced by so-called "Neurolinguistic programming", the scientific basis for which is minimal.But I digress.
Am reading "Nudge" at the moment: very interesting.
