David--If you're talking about something other than the textbook Bretton Woods origins of the IMF and IBRD, well, ya got me? I saw the same Greenspan grilling you saw...At another hearing he said something akin to ninety-nine percent compliance was not good enough at least where banking was concerned. He also admitted that he wrote his share on non-compliant code. Before you joined our merry band of posters, back in Feb. I framed a question that you might find interesting. See: See:https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=7888797 Then B.K. Meyers was able to find a foreign model that answered the question to some degree. See: Message 7918536 I then plugged U.S. data into the model...Hmmm... I believe the relationship between GDP and the unemployment rate is real not spurious. I've been trying to get an economist to take a look at the data. I wrote Victor Prolier after "The Complacency Peddlers" appeared on Westergaard for the name of an economist who might verify the relationship and help me with the second half of the inquiry related to import/export numbers. The name he gave me is the name of someone who I believe has already been identified as being in the "doomer" camp. We then have your "comes down to the basic issue of we really don't have a trusted common thread of knowledge" problem. If you know of an economist with time on his or her hands, who might find the problem intriguing and would like to play with some numbers and projections without putting their neck on the line please pm me. Anonimity guaranteed. I crunch the numbers. They check the numbers. I take the heat and the rap for the numbers. No harm, no foul.
