On the subject of brains, Mortimer, ipsat loquitor.

When it comes to education, you show me yours, and 
I'll post mine.  Showdown!  Still waiting...

See above.  See below.  Eschew obfuscation.  Stick
to the point.

Give me one specific, current, and undisputed reference 
in the field of economics that supports your statements.
Further, facts, if they be that, do not require 
justification.  They require revelation.

*  That's specific as in title, author, and publisher.

*  That's current, as in the last 5 years.

*  That's undisputed, as in accepted by all economic 
theorists.

Frankly, I don't think even one such a book exists.  
Therefore, unless or until you produce it, your "Go 
look it up!" admonitions are meaningless.

However, I look forward to enlightenment if you can
provide the citation, and show how it supports your
assertions.

Failing that, a clear summary of your economic theory
or theories with clear citations would provide at
least some basis for rational debate.

Your Nemesis (male, in this case),

P.S.  I must thank you for this continuing badminton
match of messages, Mortimer.  I hope you are enjoying 
it as much as I am.  Edgar Burgen never had it so good.
