About Me

RebelEconomist
RebelEconomist is a regular reader of, and occasional commenter on, more illustrious economic blogs. The main purpose of this blog – initially at least – is to convey ideas that need more explanation than could reasonably be included in a comment or that have not been raised by discussion elsewhere. RebelEconomist has been an academic, central banker and fund manager in his time, but the ideas presented here should stand on the strength of the supporting logic and evidence rather than the author’s credentials. Hopefully, some of the ideas are original, in which case, RebelEconomist would be grateful if readers who use them would acknowledge their source.
