The author has been described by News Ltd as an "iconoclast", "Svengali", a pollie's "economist muse", and "pungently accurate". Fairfax says he is a "Renaissance man" and "one of Australia’s most respected analysts." Stephen Koukoulas concludes that he is "85% right", and "would make a great Opposition leader." Terry McCrann claims the author thinks "‘nuance’ is a trendy village in the south of France", but can be "scintillating" when he thinks "clearly". The ACTU reckons he’s "an enigma wrapped in a Bloomberg terminal, wrapped in some apparently well-honed abs."

Do these economists really look like their cartoons?

Quite amusing caricatures of Australia's top economics and housing commentators, including Scott Haslem, Rory Robertson, Bill Evans, Paul Bloxham, and Alan Oster. I would submit that I am somewhat more ripped than this otherwise fair likeness...Have a look at the rest here. I have enclosed Steve Keen and Rory Robertson's pics below too. I note the message on Steve's back!
