Lol , I bet you were downvoted by a Republican with negative tolerance . <| sep |> I ' ve been spoiled by FFXIV and the great staff it has , I needed a little slap from daddy SQeenix to snap be back into reality . <| sep |> MMS said this in his speech in the parliament . He looked and behaved really old and was struggling to speak . Also looked like his heart wasn ' t in it . I was looking forward to his criticism particularly from the angle of Economics and the theory of it . Obviously , being a politician and the exPM he would also speak on it from the political angle and would also address the hardships being caused to people , the implementation angle which he did for the most part . Sadly , he didn ' t focus much on it as an Economist . Probably because his physical condition didn ' t allow him to speak for long . Hopefully , he would write an article addressing Demonetization issue , from his unique position of an Economist and a Politician who was the PM of this country for 10 years . We need to hear more from him because he might have the most interesting perspective . I am still hunting for someone ' s credible and indepth view on the long term effects of demonetization , beyond the short term implementation issues and even the medium term negative impact on GDP . We know the implementation issues are real , we also know economy is going to suffer for next few quarters . Beyond that however , it ' s all fuzzy . There is no precedence of such a thing happening in the past the optical similarities with 1978 and 1946 or with other countries are irrelevant . Most Economists are also probably struggling to figure this thing out . The best on this topic , I have seen till now , is this article Currency reform a risky natural e x p e r i m e n t r e f o rmariskynaturalexperiment . html by Niranjan Rajadhyaksha , the Executive Editor of Mint .
