Humor is essential and inherent part of being human. The ability to laugh at ourselves is also a healthy self-criticism to acknowledge our shortcomings and understand that we can improve. For economists, we are often criticized (sometimes for no reason and many others with her) by the tendency to make economic assumptions considered infallible and make predictions about events that are subject to great uncertainty, this is obviously taking a position Oracle, that raises us above other social sciences and aims which Icarus impetuous, close to the sun in the exact sciences. In reality, the economy is far from infallible formulate theorems and postulates, which does not involve however, that can not deliver and analyze social facts with clarity and applicability to improve the environment and the society.
In summary, I believe that the economy rather than the fault is in some economists, those who pontificate and regard his word as axiomatic. For them, these jokes are dedicated:
1. On the death of Einstein, this is going to heaven and meets three characters. At first they asked about his IQ and the 190 responds. "Perfect, I can discuss with you about the contributions made by Rutherford in the field of physics and we can discuss about my theory of relativity." Make the same question the second man and this 150 replies. "Well, I'd love to discuss the UN role in post-Cold War world and combat terrorism in a globalized world." The third man approaches and tells Eintein, I have 50 points of IQ. Eintein pauses and says: "What is your projection of unemployment and inflation for next year?
2. How many economists of the Chicago School are required to change a light bulb?
Answer: None. If the bulb needs to be changed, the market will take care of it.
3. What is the difference between an economist and a disoriented old man with Alzheimer?
Answer: The economist is the one the calculator.
4. An economist is someone who knows what he is talking about and makes you feel guilty about it.
5. Two economists are walking down the street when they see a pile of manure in the soil. One of them tells the other: "I give you $ 20,000 if you eat that piece of dung." Conducting a cost-benefit analysis the second economist thinks that would optimize its utility by eating it, so what does and collects money. It was later found another pile of manure and this time the second economist who proposes the first to eat a piece of manure in exchange for $ 20,000. The first economist also performs a cost-benefit analysis and access to the transaction, getting the money.
keep walking and the second economist commented to the first: "Hey, shit and we both ate the same amount of money. Do not think we're better than before." The first economist then replicated. "That's true, but have not taken into account that we have made a trade worth $ 40,000"
