New Book Discusses The Role Of The Dismal Science
A new book by economics professor Roger Backhouse defends the field of economics as still being useful despite it's inability to predict recessions. Although the economics field has become more quantitative, it is still far from an exact science with tests of theories that are often inconclusive. See the following post from The Capital Spectator.
Yes, judging by the criticism heaped upon the dismal science in recent years. Macroeconomists in particular, we're told, were blind to the rising risks that eventually killed the economic expansion and unleashed the Great Recession—the deepest contraction since the Great Depression in the 1930s. In fact, economics is at once the problem and the solution, as Roger Backhouse argues in an intriguing new book: The Puzzle of Modern Economics: Science or Ideology?
Backhouse, a professor of the history and philosophy of economics at University of Birmingham, narrates a tale of evolution and debate in the dismal science in the 20th century in search of clues for deciding how (or if) economics has stumbled. At the core of this story is the mathematization of economics. As Backhouse recounts:
From the 1930s onward, the Econometric Society's conception of what it meant to be rigorous became increasingly influential. Economics came to be seen as a technical discipline centered on modeling—the construction of mathematical representations of the economic activity.
Promoting and strengthening better living through mathematically rigorous economics has been high on the agenda for economists for years. Indeed, some of the biggest names in the profession are closely linked with the rise of quantitative modeling. Thanks to John Maynard Keynes, Paul Samuelson, and others, the dismal science is primarily a quantitative field. As a result, Backhouse explains, "economists were applying formal, mathematical modeling to an increasingly wide range of economic problems" in an effort "to be scientific."
How, then, could economists be so blind to the risks that bubbled ahead of the Great Recession? The pursuit of science implies greater accuracy. But economics isn't physics. This hasn't been lost of the economics profession, even if the general public thinks otherwise. Backhouse reminds that criticism of economics has been ongoing from within. What's more, there's always debate about what's relevant, what's not, and what constitutes enlightened economics—macroeconomics in particular. Indeed, arguments over what caused the Great Depression of the 1930s still rages—80 years later! One could reasonably argue that there's too much debate, and that it rolls on for too long.
If endless debate is destiny in economics, that's no surprise. There are no easy answers—certainly no single, all-encompassing explanation in this field. There's ample room for criticism, of course, and praise. But if commentary is to have any relevance, it must be specific. Economics in the 21st century is too diverse, too wide ranging to be pigeonholed and summarized as right or wrong. The next best thing, Backhouse suggests, is understanding modern economics by way of understanding the theories that drive the profession. Here is where the proverbial rubber meets the road.
Our conception of whether the dismal science failed or triumphed in recent years depends on which brand of economics we're looking at and what expectations we harbor. Searching for clear answers about what ails economics is complicated by other factors, Backhouse advises, including the possibility that some economists use certain theories to advance political agendas. Meanwhile, a given economic theory's influence is largely dependent on whether it's the mainstream or not.
Why can't the debates be resolved by simply testing a given theory? The short answer: It's economics. "Thus when economists test theories, the results are often inconclusive," Backhouse writes. "Sometimes this is because they have not used the right data. It can also be a problem when there are too few observations to estimate models precisely, perhaps because the government has only recent started compiling statistics in a given area or because definitions have changed." And because economists often seek to identify the causes of economic changes, as opposed to simply finding reliable patterns in the data, the process of explaining cause and effect is riddled with nuance.
Ultimately, Backhouse can't tell us if economics has failed or triumphed. The profession won't submit to such a general test. It's akin to asking if science is productive or not. Instead, Backhouse offers the next-best thing: explaining how economics has evolved, why it's complicated, and how it's still useful despite the obvious shortcomings.
Along the way he presents a compelling case for dismissing the criticism that mathematical rigor is hurting economics. "The appropriate response to inadequate economic theories is not to abandon the attempt to be rigorous," he opines. "It is precisely because economists such as Akerlof or Stiglitz had developed abstract theories of how markets worked that they were able to see that the common sense view of how financial markets operated were wrong."
The closest Backhouse comes to sweeping conclusions are statements such as: "…where problems are narrowly and precisely defined, and where they involve agents whose motivations are well understood and who operate under well-understood constraints, economic analysis is remarkably powerful."
That's good news for microeconomics, and so the challenge is (still) in macroeconomics. That's not surprising. The factors that drive an economy are hopelessly vast and the interactions unfathomable. No wonder that economists reduce the infinitely complex relationships that comprise an entire economy to simplified models. That's a solution as well as a recipe for problems. Yes, economics works best when narrowly defined, as Backhouse asserts. But macroeconomics doesn't have that luxury. "Because the problems are so broad, the available theory and evidence leave much scope for the intrusion of both intellectual values and ideology."
Yes, macroeconomics has come a long way over the decades. But expecting macroeconomists to prevent recessions is a bit like asking meteorologists to deliver a particular type of weather next Thursday. Backhouse does a fine job of telling us why economics is so bedeviled, and why the profession is at perpetual war with itself. He also reminds that macroeconomics has made astonishing progress in explaining how economies tick, and which policies are likely to succeed or fail. But that falls well short of providing flawless prescriptions for how to avoid recessions or engineer growth in the next quarter.
Most economists agree that a healthy dose of free market capitalism is a plus for creating wealth. But there's a furious debate over the details. How much is too much capitalism? How much regulation (if any) should there be? Is capitalism inherently unstable? Such questions are macroeconomic questions, but they're also political topics. Macroeconomics by its very nature invites debate, dissent and deliberation.
So, has economics failed? That's an unfair question, Backhouse's book suggests. Yes, the recent crisis has spurred a healthy re-evaluation of everything from Keynesian policies the to efficient markets hypothesis. But the flaws of most established economic theories are tightly bound up with their successes. Separating one from the other is devilishly difficult, if not impossible in economics. No wonder that simple answers in the dismal science are the exception rather than the rule.


When this campaign hit my inbox, I was more than happy to pass it along to our readers. My sister has MS, so understanding the symptoms and struggles and helping to find a cure hit close to home for me. She was a runner and an avid traveler back in the day, and this incurable disease has robbed her of those passions, making travel tough and warm environments, athletic endeavors, and even tasks like moving to a new place overwhelming and exhausting. She's a hero of mine, for dealing as well as she does. She's been accused by past roommates and pseudo friends of "faking it" because the symptoms aren't always visible, but they can be debilitating nonetheless. I'm happy to do anything I can to educate the general public about MS, to promote understanding and empathy. Kudos to Modern Day MS for putting a real face and back story to the statistics.
Modern Day MS is featuring one Real Person with MS every day of March for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Awareness Month.
Each real unique person living with MS was asked four identical questions, plus provided a quote that inspires them to stay positive despite their currently-incurable diagnosis. Here are a few samples.
Meet Mel: "We all want a Multiple Sclerosis cure"
Meet Dean: "I am the Captain of my Fate."
Meet Rachel: "MS reminds me to really look at my son's face."
MS is a neurological disease that affects over 2.3 million people worldwide. MS is the breakdown of myelin (the substance protects nerves) allowing the body to attack itself. The word "sclerosis" refers to the scar tissue or lesions that appear as the brain and spinal cord are damaged. The unprotected nerves cannot function as they would with normal, healthy myelin.
The damaged nerves produce a wide range of symptoms that vary in severity. Symptoms include numbness and tingling, vision problems, balance and mobility issues, slurred speech, depression and many other issues. There is no such thing as a "typical" symptom of MS because each person experiences the disease differently.
The range of participants in the Modern Day MS #RealPeoplewithMS campaign range from those that run triathlons to those living life in wheelchairs. These interesting stories are from all over the world including Australia, Wales, Scotland and various regions of the United States.
Although multiple sclerosis affects more women than men, there are eight diverse men represented in this campaign. Ages range from as young as 22 up to 65 years old. The willing participants include some who exclusively use natural treatments and no medication to others who are dependent on a long list of medications.
Modern Day MS was created in November 2014 by Beth Prystowsky. Prystowsky is a mom, wife, daughter, sister, yoga teacher and writer that created the site when she was unable to find a positive, nonoverwhelming place for herself and others to learn and understand the chronic disease.
Modern Day MS is found at www.moderndayms.com, on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.

Oh, so you are going to go down this road, continue taking my diamonds from me that I LEGALLY attained right? With my hard earned money. So another 2k goes missing on top of the 4k that you already took because of a mistake you guys made over a month ago.;It\'s not my fault you took over a month to respond to something that was a month ago. Then when you finally do you get all upset and tell me I better recharge to compensate for the money that was rightfully returned to me? You\'re joking right? You want me to recharge diamonds just so you can take them from me, you are out of your damn minds.
You want to go down this road. Lets go.
Oh and let me guess, you\'re gonna audit this one like you did the other 2 so nobody can see what you guys are doing?

Abuja: Telecom major Bharti Airtel has announced plans to invest $10 million in its newly acquired telecom network in Seychelles.
The company will also participate in the Seychelles East Africa submarine cable (SEAS) project.
During a meeting with vice president Danny Faure of the country yesterday, Bharti Airtel Africa chief executive officer Manoj Kohli said that the investment will be phased over the next three years.
The SEAS project is a 2,000 km submarine cable between Seychelles and the Tanzanian city of Dar es Salaam which will connect Seychelles to the world and the global economy.
The $34-million project is expected to improve the services offered to large enterprises and will further augment Telecom Seychelles world-class mobile services, which currently include new generation 3G mobile technology and integrated wireline services.
Kohli said, "We will leverage our expertise and infrastructure to offer customised data solutions for our large enterprise and corporate clients, which will help them gain a unique competitive advantage."
The acquisition of Telecom Seychelles has grown Bharti Airtel's African expansion to 16 countries and its overall presence to 19 countries.
Bharti Airtel had recently acquired the mobile operations of the Zain group in 15 countries across Africa. Telecom Seychelles started its operations in 1998 by launching mobile services. It has today, established itself with over 57% share of the mobile market.

Q: TFS 2010 and MSBuild variables empty? we developer web pages in PHP and we must use Visual studio 2010 with Team foundation Server 2010.
We try to create simple "build process" on TFS to copy our php files to drop folder.
I am using: DefaultTemplate.xaml
And created my own: simple_zip.proj for MSBuild proces with following code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project DefaultTargets="Build" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
    <ItemGroup>
        <MySourceFiles Include="**\*.php"/>
    </ItemGroup>

    <Target Name="CopyFiles">
        <Copy SourceFiles="@(MySourceFiles)" DestinationFolder="c:\MyProject\Destination" />
        <Message Text="My Build Complete" />
    </Target>
</Project>

And this works and copies to the server local path.
The problem is if I try to use any of MSBuild variables it does not work, like
Message Text="My Build Complete - $(BuildDir) - $(TargetDir) - $(BuildProjectFolderPath)>"
My text is displayed but variables are empty (I am looking debug level log files of msbuild process).
Also anything from the following link, simply does not work.
Customizable Team Foundation Build Targets
So my question is, how can I get all path variables (sources dir, binaries dir, drop folder dir, build number and others from build definition/template) to my MSBuild on the TFS server ?
Thank you
Kind regards

A: I don't see your project importing any standard targets.  I do a similar thing in one of my project files and it looks a bit like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project ToolsVersion="4.0" DefaultTargets="Build" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
<PropertyGroup>
 <Configuration Condition=" '$(Configuration)' == '' ">Debug</Configuration>
 <Platform Condition=" '$(Platform)' == '' ">AnyCPU</Platform>
 <DeploymentDir>$(OutDir)\MySubFolder\</DeploymentDir>
</PropertyGroup>
<ItemGroup>
 <DeploymentContent Include="**\*.ps1" />
</ItemGroup>
<PropertyGroup>
 <DevDeploymentImageDir>$(DeploymentDir)Dev\</DevDeploymentImageDir>
</PropertyGroup>
<Import Project="$(MSBuildToolsPath)\Microsoft.Common.targets" />
<!-- Empty targets for this project since it just copies files from one location to another.-->
<Target Name="BeforeBuild"/>
<Target Name="CreateManifestResourceNames" />
<Target Name="CoreCompile" />
<Target Name="AfterBuild" >
  <MakeDir Directories="$(DeploymentDir)" />
  <MakeDir Directories="$(DevDeploymentImageDir)" />
  <Copy SourceFiles="@(DeploymentContent)" DestinationFolder="$(DevDeploymentImageDir)" />
</Target>

Another good thing to try is turning on more verbose MSBuild logging on your TFS machine (like the level 'diag') so you can see MSBuild variables getting set along the way as the build progresses.

Four years ago, 6.8 million Americans were out of work for six months or longer. Half as many are now. That might sound like good news, but it isn't.
Nearly four-fifths of those who became long-term unemployed during the worst period of the downturn have since migrated to the fringes of the job market, a recent study shows, rarely seeking work, taking part-time posts or bouncing between unsteady jobs. Only one in five, according to the study, has returned to lasting full-time work since 2008.
Fed officials face a conundrum: Should they keep trying to spur economic growth and hiring by holding short-term interest rates near zero, or will those low rates eventually spark inflation without helping those long out of work?
One school of thought, espoused by former Obama White House economic adviser Alan Krueger and some Fed researchers, sees the exodus as proof the pool of available labor is smaller than many think. If millions have drifted to the sidelines of the workforce, that would contribute to higher wage growth and greater inflationary pressure. The Labor Department reported Tuesday that consumer prices were up 2.1% in May from a year earlier, the biggest increase since late 2012.
The other view, embraced by Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen and some other Fed economists, believes these millions can be drawn back into steady work if the economy strengthens. They thus represent a hidden supply of labor that will keep inflation down.
The first camp believes the Fed's low-interest-rate policy has done about all it can to boost economic growth and help the long-term unemployed. The second camp believes the Fed still can prompt more job gains by keeping interest rates low.
If the first view proves right, the Fed may have to start raising interest rates to control inflation sooner than planned, a development that could jar stock and bond markets.
In a March Brookings Institution study, he and his coauthors found just 11% of people out of work for more than half a year had landed steady, full-time work within 15 months. Around a quarter had part-time jobs or had found and then lost full-time jobs. The rest, nearly two-thirds of the total, had given up seeking work or remained unemployed but still in the hunt.
"It's going to take a different set of tools" to help the long-term unemployed, Mr. Krueger said in an interview.
Ms. Yellen, who cut her teeth in labor economics as an academic, isn't buying that argument.
The Fed is winding down a bond-purchase program meant to stimulate growth while slowly turning to the question of when to raise short-term interest rates, which could affect household and business borrowing costs. Fed officials have said they don't expect to raise rates until next year, and their thinking about long-term unemployment plays a central role in that calculation.
Ms. Yellen has immersed herself in details of the long-term unemployment debate, devouring research on the subject. She also has shown an interest in the individual hardships associated with the problem.
In March she spent more than an hour on the phone with several Illinois residents suffering from long unemployment spells. She highlighted them in a speech, noting the stigma of being out of work for years and how some employers have turned it into "a disqualification."
With unemployment so high for so long, why didn't inflation fall more?
In his March paper, Mr. Krueger argued inflation hasn't been responsive to the long-term unemployed because they are so detached from the labor force.
The low rate of inflation, he said, tracked more closely with the fortunes of people out of work for short durations and still engaged in the day-to-day churn of résumé writing, interviewing and job searching. In May, 6.4 million Americans were out of work for less than 27 weeks, in line with prerecession levels.
Other economists came to the same conclusion independently, including Princeton University Professor Mark Watson, Northwestern economist Robert Gordon and researchers at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The White House advanced the idea, too, noting in its March release of the Economic Report of the President that large numbers of "short-term unemployed put more downward pressure on wages."
Mr. Krueger says other policies that aren't the Fed's purview, such as tax credits for employers hiring long-term unemployed and government-funded job-search assistance, are needed to address the problem.
If he is right, the Fed has potentially done about as much as it can do to help them. Mr. Krueger said he doesn't think inflation is yet a serious threat and isn't calling for rate hikes, but he added the Fed "should be aware of the limits of monetary policy."
Economists at the Federal Reserve Board in Washington have produced a series of papers contradicting Mr. Krueger's conclusions and pointing out what they view as flaws in his and other research.
Some say the recent period of high long-term unemployment is so out of the ordinary that it is impossible to draw clear conclusions about its effect on inflation. Short- and long-term unemployment typically move in lock step, making it hard to tease out differences in their effects.
Mr. Krueger, who sparred with Fed researchers in the past over their work on the minimum wage, said broadly of Fed staff economists: "They have a lot of talent, but labor economics has not been their strength."
Some Fed officials say Mr. Krueger's own research isn't holding up. Revisions to his March paper could draw less concrete conclusions about the connection between unemployment and inflation than before. A revised paper he shared with The Wall Street Journal deleted a section on the Phillips curve which addressed this interplay. He said he planned to break it out into a separate paper.
Ms. Yellen said in testimony to Congress in May she believed that as the economy strengthens, people who have been unemployed for long stretches will be drawn back into the job market, probably among the last to benefit from an economic expansio

We would like to introduce an example of interior design for common types of Xross House rooms.
If you choose a white bed cover, the room will have a bright and clean image!
If you rent your futon from Xross House, it comes with dark blue or brown sheets.
We used the white cover to match the interior.
The white TV and fridge are the ones installed in the room and they combine well with the color scheme of the room.
Although we did not actually hang any clothes on clothes rack this time, it seems there is plenty of room for them!


POETRY: Four new collections explore beauty and meaning in the shadows, the edges and shopping at Target.
She notes that when looking at the illustrations, the "best parts of imagination emerge." These wildly imaginative poems are astonishing in their density, vividness and precision.
Meek is interested in how these images isolate an object from context; the blankness surrounding is fertile ground for the imagination. In an illustration for "gargoyle," "a cathedral affixed to each figure, cavity / for a god who goes unrendered." Her poems skirt the fantastic with esoteric words rich in sound and history and near vanishing themselves: cupola furnace, clavichord and toboggan.
Full of surprising moments of vivid description and sudden swerves of thinking, this chapbook will leave the reader eager for more. Hopefully, this slender volume is a prelude to a full-length book.
Impressionist painter Claude Monet painted Rouen Cathedral more than 30 times in 1892 and 1893. The subject of these paintings is not the church, but the phenomenon of how light interacts with surfaces.
This vagueness coupled with the repetition can make the book feel overlong. But the repetition also gives the book a spiritual dimension as it references the repetition of ritual: myth, meditation, liturgy and prayer.
Peter Campion writes: "That digital tremor, that hard-wiring burning / that signals just beyond beyond beyond." Awash in signals — televisions, cellphones, car radios — we are distracted from the here and now. Campion roots his poems in time and place, not by tuning out those signals, but by integrating them into rich meditations on place.
Cellphone conversations "spidering air with bargains and blandishments" become "one primal invocation" when woven with fragmented images, information from ubiquitous televisions and Campion's own observations.
In "Concourse C," Campion also adds his translations of Anglo-Saxon riddles: "Who is so smart / that he can tell who drives my outcast force?" These lend a sense of grandiosity to the banal space of an airport.
Peter Campion will read at 7 p.m. Friday at Common Good Books in St. Paul.
Su Smallen's approach to Buddhism is an "American embrace," emphasizing humor, happiness, compassion. In 30 poems imagining Buddha in contemporary settings — eating Cheerios, shopping at Target, stuck in traffic — she coaxes readers to contemplation with a light touch.
In this slender volume, Smallen succeeds in introducing major concepts of Buddhism in a way that is welcoming, approachable and full of joy.
