Okay, at first glance economics and flagrancy may not look like easy bedfellows, but I think the excellent MP3 interview below shows us how economics are often used in an atrocious and heinous manner.
The interview is with John Perkins who has written a book called "Confessions of an Economic Hitman". He basically tells the story of how he was complicit in a policy of corrupting and indebting developing countries. The interview is long; more than 20 minutes but its interesting right from the start.

what is flagrance?
 |
Fla´gran`cy . The condition or quality of being flagrant; atrocity; heinousness; enormity; excess. Flagrance is good! Once upon a time Barra and David decided that if we were to create our own fragrance, we would call it 'Flagrance'. The idea being that it would be flagrantly expensive and flagrantly nice smelling. Well, we don't know how to develop, manufacture, and market a fragrance, so we have made a blog instead. Deal with it! |
Barra's the name and Upper class Flagrancy is the game. I'm an incurable romantic who is seeking any filthy whore. call me.
My name is David but most call me Armours. I'm an economics student in UCD so that may explain some of my more boring ramblings. I like football, computer games, and being a waste. oh, and my milkshake brings all the boys to the yard.

Thats a deadly post david. its too bad about that Torrijos guy, he almost had it his way. the fact that there are two types of hitmen is cool, the economic ones who are used in a civil (yet malicious) manner, and then the last option hitmen (jackels).
can u imagine what wud happen if china and all asked for thier credit in euros.
from what i understand from this inteview, i now know that john perkins is a genius, he should be president of the new world. he would be a perfect candidate to support coz he actually believes in it.
(flagranomics is a perfect title for this post)
