Entre-ouvido em conversa de recém doutor com perplexo leitor de The Economist:
– “My PhD thesis was a pioneering attempt to create a new sinthesis by constructing a new-classical over-lapping generations equilibrium business cycle model with Austrian roots which nevertheless contained Keynesian price rigidities, neutrality properties, involuntary unemployment, outsider power, decreasing returns to scale, irrational expectations and maximizing agents operating in a world of fundamentalist uncertainty, repeatedly hit by endogenous technical progress. When the model generated neo-Marxian predictions I just flipped!”
– “Afinal entendi porque, para qualquer economista, a vida real é apenas caso específico!”, retrucou o leigo.
