An economist and his friend are walking along, the friend says to the economist "look there's a $20 bill on the ground", the economist keeps walking without looking down and says "that's impossible, someone would have already picked it up".

"1st law of thermo-economics - The amount of facts in economics is always the same in a closed system. If some sub field experiences an increase in facts, another must be forgetting facts at the same rate.

2nd law of thermo-economics - Facts in economics have a tendency to spread between all sub fields and always moves from more informed areas to more deranged ones. The result is an increase in "econotropy" - the general uselessness of all economist theory."


"Say you have two cows:

In capitalism your boss butchers them both for profit, live rich a while and then you all starve next year.

In communism the government takes your cows and give you half their milk.

In a democracy the two other guys vote for you doing all the work and getting 1/4 of the milk.

In a theocracy you sacrifice your cows to your god and starve to death while praying all day.

In Africa you neglect your two cows to death and get three new and better ones in foreign aid.

In a bureaucracy the government milks one of them, shoots the other and then pours the milk on the ground."

An economist, a philosopher, a biologist, and an architect were were arguing about what was God's real profession. The philosopher said, "Well, first and foremost, God is a philosopher because he created the principles by which man is to live." "Ridiculous!" said the biologist "Before that, God created man and woman and all living things so clearly he was a biologist." "Wrong," said the architect. "Before that, he created the heavens and the earth. Before the earth, there was only complete confusion and chaos!" "Well," said the economist, "where do you think the chaos came from?"

Social:
You have two cows, your neighbor none.  You feel bad because you work successfully. You elect people that Tax your cows heavily. That forces you to sell one of your cows. The people you voted for take the money from your taxes buy your cow and give it to you neighbor.

Liberal:
You have two cows, you neighbor none. ...So what?

US-American:
You sell one cow and lease it back. You form a cooperation. Now you force both cows to give the triple amount of milk. One of the cows dies due to you treatment. You hold a press conference announcing that you have halved you costs. You stocks skyrocket.

Japanese:
You have two cows. You create a manga called cowminton and publish it wordwide. You make millions.

German:
You two cows show up on their own on exactly the same time each day, giving exactly the same amount of milk in perfect quality. Sadly your cows want 13 Weeks of holiday a year.

Italian:
You are pretty sure you have two cows, but you can’t find them. While searching for them you see a beautiful woman. Life is great.

French:
You have two cows. You strike because you want to have three cows.

Swiss:
You have 5000 cows. None is yours but you get paid from their owners for keeping them.

A geologist, an engineer and an economist fall into a deep hole.  The geologist starts inspecting the rocks and dirt and declares that they can get out by tunneling up through a soft area.  The engineer looks too, and says that they can get out by dislodging some of the stones, and wedging them back into the walls to form stairs up.  The economist thinks for a bit and says "First we assume a ladder..."

A therapist, a priest and an economist go golfing. The group ahead of them is extremely slow, leading to some frustration among the three. Their complaints are overheard, and a man from the group ahead walks over to them. He introduces himself as an aide because the group of golfers he is with is blind. The aide thanks the three in appreciation for their patience for the blind golfers.

The priest goes, "Gracious me, all my life I’ve preached for all to be better to my fellow man and here I am complaining about the blind!"�. The therapist says, "Sorry! I’ve been trained my whole life to help others and here I am complaining about the blind, what shame!"� The economist says, "That's horrible! They should be playing at night."

two economists walk along the road and stumble upon a shit,
one says to the other: I'll give u 200 bucks if you eat it
and the other one immediately seizes a good deal

not long after, they find another shit by the road,
now the second one offers the same deal to the first one,
and deal, being such a good one, is also done

they walk for a while, and suddenly one realizes that
they both ate a shit and had no profit from it,
but then happily conclude that they made a nice turnover
