This reminds me of me (and my wife) meeting a girl I know from high school a couple of months ago, and she mentioning I was the last guy from class she would have imagined to ever get married. Which was slightly awkward. Same thing I thought about David Mitchell for possibly different reasons.

Also funnily enough I remember precisely when and where I first met my wife and at the time remembered her phone number, although I am usually hopeless at making social contacts and remembering anything.

I say don't complete the dupe for a day or so. Quality comedy.

Mark Blyth is my third favorite Scot, right after two brothers who are dear friends of mine. After his famous interview for Athens Live, every video of his released by the Watson Institute has pretty much been a must-watch, particularly his takes on "The Deplorables" and the Front Nationale.

I got his book "Austerity: The History of a Dangerous Idea" after it was praised heavily over at NakedCapitalism 3-4 years ago -- to me, there is no bigger compliment for an economist than praise by Yves and the commentariat over at NC.

His takes on the mercantilism of Germany are among the best, and by far the clearest. Bill Mitchell had some great pieces on it as well, but Blyth's capacity for facilitating understanding of these concepts is on a different level entirely.

So do I disagree with him on parts of his economic analysis? Yes, but only on the fringes where MMT/functional finance is concerned.

Check out the companion talk to his book:
