Danish Economists Win Nobel Prize in Economics! (And Peace)

Day 134, 13:40 • Published in Sweden Sweden

BØRSEN, Denmark

Exciting news today as for the first time in history, Danish Economists have won the Nobel Peace Prize in Economics and Peace.

It was the noted economist and governmental advisor, Justansen Fnentson Johanneson jr den anden, who won the prize with his treatise on Danish Flexicurity.

In laymen's terms the brilliant thesis if applied correctly in other countries, will solve world poverty. The Danish scandinavian flexicurity model ensures peace, prosperity and economic wealth for everyone in the country.

The basic model dictates that if there are poor people in your country you should just print millions and millions of your own currency, and then give it out to the people, making everyone millionaires!

The idea is so brilliant that Mr. Johanneson jr den anden was surprised that no one had thought of it themselves. He stated that he wasn't surprised the economic-monkeys to the north hadn't figured it out, but he was shocked that other countries hadn't realized the advantages of making EVERYONE IN YOUR COUNTRY A FREAKING MILLIONAIRE. (The title of his book is MAKE EVERYONE IN YOUR COUNTRY A FREAKING MILLIONAIRE).

Denmark now looks forward to offering advice to poor countries in order to help them reach the economic elite.

Absolutly genius! Printing money, why didn\'t we think about that before?

um....
never mind.

Won\'t this cause serious infation?

Grev Per Day 135, 04:27

Not if you set maximum prices! (or print EVEN MORE money!)

Daphne Lilac Day 135, 19:38

Haven\'t they already done this in some countries in Africa?

Aggieman Day 135, 21:44

Zimbabwe does this. There economy grows 80000% a year. Though inflation is like 100000% a year.

Macko Day 136, 06:41

The trick is to give the money to the poor during the night so that noone else sees it. There\'s just to much light in Zimbabwe that\'s why it doesn\'t work

Grev Per Day 136, 07:42

Actually yeah Zimbabwe did exactly this back in 1999.

But this is Danish Flexicurity! That means that it\'s flexible! and we\'re safe, like with security! Or that our security is flexible? we\'re sometimes secure? uh oh

hahaha, briliant report 😃

Shakir Nasrollah Day 137, 11:23

Short term solution. Long term => Massive inflation.

Danny Day 138, 02:53

It\'s really amusing to see some people seriously questioning the article. I laughed though 🙂

Yamato Suzuki Day 138, 09:20

Grev Per Day 138, 13:45

That is truly brilliant, I only wish we had thought of that in Norway first. I think it was a Norwegian who first found out you can keep yourself warm during winter by peeing you pants though, so let it not be said that we are incapable of just as great intellectual achievements as our potato-stuck-in-throat-afflicted brethren. 🙂
