Cure for Incurable Optimists

Do you know someone whose disposition is so positive and sunny that it's irritating? Are they a Pollyanna? Do they resemble Voltaire's Candide? No matter how bad things look do they always cheerily affirm that things really couldn't be better? If so, you might want to link them to this slide show by a prominent economist. In his view we're facing within the next few months an historically unprecedented worldwide economic cataclysm, and worse, there's nothing we can do to stop it.

Even if you don't understand all the graphs, slides 22 to 30 pretty much sum things up.

Have a great day.
