FAT CATS AND THE NEW YORKER.

FAT CATS AND THE NEW YORKER. Tyler Cowen at the Marginal Revolution site links to this comment on the current New Yorker cover, entitled “Fat Cats”. The link shows the cover which features stout rich men smoking cigars and drinking cocktails. The comment by David Boaz lists a number of upscale advertisers in the current issue and points out that “the economist Lawrence H. White noted on Facebook, that the flip side of the cartoon is a two-page spread advertising made-to-measure suits from Giorgio Armani”. I have two comments myself. The first is that maybe this is mainly an economist’s joke.
