The Discriminant of The Iota

"Since the science of economics is primarily a set of tools, as opposed to a subject matter, then no subject, however offbeat, need be beyond its reach."-FREAKONOMICS

Well shoes have been very much in talks this season ( even as i lost a new pair of adidas to sheer callousness)and suddenly they seem to be flyin' everywhere, and while some were talking about over table( Ah! My Lord, the footwear is now on a watchlist, we insist that a bill be passed in House Of Commons giving MI-5 "sweeping" powers to "nail" the shoes being bought) i believe its time that they finally snoop over the shoe and so we can really move with foot in the mouth ( R.I.P Kolhapuris, they are now a strict no-no for all flights bound to her majesty's kingdom) or worse( Breaking News: China bombs Kanpur for supplying leather to Turkish Shoe Makers). Well things were fine till this point but the worrying part ( watch out Raj!!) is that while its raining footwear we indians are "shoe"ig away from becoming an active contributor to it, we have our own hall of fame ( Couples at Park, Richard Gere, Danny Boyle, M.F Hussain, Salman Rushdie.....) so with the list already in place where are the Shoe- squads( Classified Intercept: " Adidas has been delivered, Woodland on its way, the Puma is in place")

Yet no one is looking at the flip side of things( dammn! you elitists, are you cribing just because the shoe being thrown is alas, not "branded") come now fella look at flip side of this, it is a trickle up effect, the more you are shoe-ed the more shall be the sale of that brand( people can look for inspiration in anything!!) which implies more shoes being made which means more profit, that (indirectly) implies that the salaries shall go up... the worker will start buying( increase in demand)also the others associated with it, the ( country liqour, pan masala, bidi, and maybe, if left, food) so the bottom of the pyramid will create a demand! and who knows the retailer might just find a smile who may inturn place an order for supply management software( and that wrteched company would visit the darn campus @**#@!@**%) thus instead of all that laying off shit that we hear we may see campus recruitments( and before others start hooting, the tanneries may need newer machines, buildings, chemicals, electric meters etc..etc.etc) and even need to insure their product or might need a couple of loan or two...... and thus generate that spur needed, the elusive silver lining, and when you can spend a colossal $720 billion to fix "bad" assets why not produce "bad" shoes for a couple of billions which are already flying like bikinis in Copacabanana..... while my idea may need polishing ( so while steven and stephen aka freakonomics may claim lower crime rate being proportional to high abortions in 8os) i may, who knows, be a classic in making. And yes i can prove it, will someone pass me a couple of billions please!!!!!
