fail to see the point of professional economists. They purport to know about trade and finance, about markets and credit, but I struggle to identify the actual benefits of all their expensive advice and esoteric debates.
For example, they really should be able to provide the answers we need about job creation, but where are they? How are new jobs created, by whom and under what conditions? Countries such as Spain are crippled with 40 per cent youth unemployment: what pragmatic solutions do the economists offer to this disaster?
The only response I know to this nightmare is to encourage entrepreneurs to start new companies. Such bold individuals cannot rely on arcane economics papers, obscure formulas or dry speeches, delivered by academics who prefer theory over practice. Instead, entrepreneurs embrace clever inventions and vigorous execution.
