You know, Henry: you've obviously worked very hard all your
life to rather selflessly gain "cutting-edge" knowledge of
capitalist ekonomix many of the rest of us wish we had. No
wonder you're peeved at superficial and idiotic sniping
regarding your career choice... Personally, I'd be thrilled
if you could regularly give "Modern Capitalism 101" online
"seminars". Maybe c/o A-List, even.

You know things the rest of us should know (which goes for a
number of professional ekons & historians around here and
elsewhere). But we all know that the actual existence of
information doesn't imply in the least easy access to it (or
access at all, even).

We should unlock that brain of yours for easy access.
;P
