These Are Not Good Indexing Criticisms
As indexing becomes more and more popular it is also coming under increasing fire. I’ve written a lot about some of the more common indexing myths, but I also wanted to discuss a few myths and misunderstandings that have become more common in recent months: 1.

E Two-Handed Economists At The Bank Of Canada
I believe it was U.S. President, Harry Truman, who once said he was tired of hearing from “two-handed-economists”. It seems that at the Bank of Canada two-handed economists continue to hold sway.
