Good luck to him in whatever alternative career he adopts!
Economics is fundamentally unscientific. The economic crisis has speeded the shift of power to emergent economies. In Britain and the USA the theory of 'rational markets' removed controls from the finance sector, and things can still get yet worse.

University Challenger
The audience of University Challenge has been mesmerised by the extent of the knowledge displayed by a Canadian entrant; and as the latest round of the quiz comes to its finale he is expected to shine most brightly. This all-time superstar of the show has been reported as expressing the intention to return to Canada, rather than pursue his former plan to study for a PhD in Economics. The reason he gave is that, instead of being allowed to get on with his own project, after finishing a Masters programme, he would have to submit to more courses [for which read, more indoctrination by the Econocracy] as part of the PhD requirement.He has enough knowledge and wisdom to recognise that this would be both a waste of his time and a challenge to his common sense.
