You know you're an econ nerd when....

-You would rather continue reading about flat vs graduated income taxes as a means to redistribute wealth than take a break with a friend.

-You tell your friend, "Come look at this before you leave - this MNC tax is AMAZING!"

-You get excited about vertical integration of agro commodities in developing economies.

-You write this and it makes you happier than anything in the world:

"The West will not, out of altruism, reverse the system of trade that continues to exploit the developing world. It is Africa, Asia, Latin America that must fight to force the needed change. As long as the South remains a price-taker in the world economy, especially for agricultural commodities, it will continue to be exploited and global inequality will continue to persist."

Ok, back to taxes and world trade!!!!! Yippeeeeee!
