"oh, you must be the money guy." by Howard Simons at Street.com One neat thing about being an economist is that you're always the life of the party. Fill up a room with some actors, rock stars and a supermodel or two, and after 20 minutes, they're all listening to an impromptu lecture on the J-curve implications of last week's rally in the euro. You get used to it after a while. Why the fascination? It's really quite simple. While the others have individual life experiences, we economists have data on the entire world.
