Considering that I had already invoked Adam Smith's authority, your charge (in so many words) that I was economically illiterate only led to one conclusion, namely, that your view of economic literacy excluded Book Five (at least) of the aforementioned classic. Incidentally, you promised me a rebuttal of my denunciation of the last thirty years of Tory-Lab economic policy (http://fpb.livejournal.com/355190.html); I would suggest that if you want to attack my views, that would be a more constructive way to do it.
