    Do Jewish economists have the answer?
    Since Jews are the supreme architects and holders of power of the current world economic system, do they also have the answer to sort the current mess out, especially with regards Greece in Europe? On Newsnight Saul Rogoff and Paul Krugman seem to know what to do with Greece and where it is going.

    You can watch it here:

    So why are they not listening to the Jews? Why doesn't Greece listen?

    Jews would run such a right wing government...

    They would be too stingy to spend any money in the public sector.

    Why on earth does it matter what religion an economist is, however viable or not their theories or ideas are?

    Because this is TSR.

    Religion is pivotal to all threads.

    It doesn't matter, and you can be a Jew and also an atheist. But the Jews are the holders of financial power. Perhaps they might have the answer to all our economic woes?

    We are?

    You kidding? Jews are the ones who got us into this mess in the first place. Jews have been controlling the world economy for decades and their financial institutions (rothschilds, goldman sachs.. etc) have been pulling political strings and siphoning vast amounts of wealth from the countries in which they operate.
    We have?

    I think the answer to all our problems lies with Scientology.



    Seriously, what a ridiculous thread.
    Surely, if you are saying that Jews hold the power to sort out this mess, then the blame for this mess happening in the first place should be on their shoulders.
    It would be interesting to see the reaction you get if you started a thread with the title...

    Paul Krugman is a fantastic economist, who happens to be Jewish, however his religion plays no part in his ability to commentate on economics.

    Plus it's not just Krugman, who is strongly opposed to the disastrous austerity plans being implemented, but pretty much any self respecting economists - Martin Wolf, Joseph Stiglitz (who, as it happens, is also Jewish), Brad DeLong, and many others. We should be listening to people because they have good ideas, backed up by hard evidence and research, not because of their religion.

    You can be an atheist Jew. It's not about religion. I never even mentioned religion. If this was about religion I'd put the thread in the Religion Forum.

    I was being sarcastic.
    To be totally honest, I have no knowledge of Scientology,.
    I was just trying to put a point across, that being that this thread is really quite stupid, how can you possibly say religion will play a part in sorting out the mess.

    See if 2 Jewish economists disagreed would your head explode?

    Then what was the need to put in 'Jewish' in the thread name.
    A atheist Jew economist, will therefore be the same as any other other economist.
    Therefore, your thread is stupid.

    Jewish is an ethnicity; Judaism is the religion. I never mentioned Judaism.

    Because, on the whole, they come up with better explanations, answers and reasons than Gentile economists do.

    In your thread title, you specifically mentioned the fact that these economists were Jewish implying that they have 'the answer' because they are jewish. Why not mention the fact that Krugman and Rogoff were both white, or both American, or both Academics? If it wasn't about religion, you wouldn't have referenced it at all - the thread could so easily have been 'Do these economists have the answer?'.Plus, in your original post, you said " So why are they not listening to the Jews? ", again, clearly referencing the fact that they are Jewish rather than anything else, like the fact that Krugman is a Nobel prize winner, or that Rogoff is an economist at Harvard.

    Also, you can't be an Athiest and a Jew - Jews aren't a race, but Judaism is a religion. If you are an Athiest, you reject the notion of a God, whereas, as I'm sure you know, Jewish people do not.

    My reasons for posting whilst mentioning their ethnicity was to expand on the theme; by that I mean that many Jewish economists are superior in their technical knowledge about economic matters. Since Jews invented the banking system which the Knights Templars inherited, and since the most powerful men on the planet have been Jewish financiers, they (the Jews) might have the answer to our problems.
