Even more interesting might be "Europe disintegrating before our eyes" this
very year.  (How long does it take for Current History to become "History"?)
To make this History of Economic Thought, how have professional economists
helped bring on this debacle?  Who has helped forestall it, and how? Who has
passively ignored it?

Myself, I would be interested to know the effects of the spread of VAT
throughout Europe.  Who has published the pro-VAT "bible"; who has refuted
it; and how were their works received by leaders of our profession?
