Good for the Russkie! Then that takes us right back to the Cows of
Communism that Finbarr reminded us of last week.
History does seem to want to repeat itself!

Subject: A smile - and the joys of teaching overseas students
After the erudite (and very useful) threads seen of late I thought I
would lower the tone.
As I introduced the Production Possibility Frontier with the usual Guns
or Butter choice, I asked my new Year 12 Economists for an alternative
strategy.
A Russian student suggested: 'I would use the guns to force the farmers
to produce more butter"
It seems Stalinism is alive and well...
