Macroeconomics for Cows
A classical economist had two cows.
The cows were fed by an invisible hand.

John Maynard Keynes had two cows.
The cows refused to eat because they believed that feed would be both better and cheaper tomorrow.
The cows suffered a bovine Great Depression, until the government bought feed and forced them to eat.

A post-Keynesian economist had two cows.
Whether they got fed on any given day was an entirely random proposition, depending on factors such as crop failures and OPEC.
The cows grew at the natural rate for cows.

A growth economist had two cows.
The cows grew at the savings rate plus the rate of population growth regardless of what anybody did.

Che remarks something like "The cows are fashionably

Bunnygrrl replies, "What-evair".
Bunnygrrl then laughs uncontrollably for 15 minutes

DEMOGAME

A civ democracy game has two cows
After three months a consitution is worked out to set up the rules by which the cows will be fed and taken care of
Seven threads, each with about 400 posts are made to discuss what should be fed to the cows, and when they shalle be milked
After many debates and accrimonious elections, someone is elected to feed the cows
The cows have left the pen by now and wandered off
A new constitution must be worked out to set up the rules by which the cows will be retrieved...

Conlangers (people who create langauges like me):
You have two cows. You decide to make a language for cows based on different lengths and tones of mooing and then teach it to your cows.

You have two cows.
You offer to sell one of the cows to a foreign company.
You spend three months negotiating price, determining shipping, and reviewing customs reglations before signing a contract.
One week after signing the contract, you refuse to sell the cow.

You have two cows. The state takes them.
Days later in Pravda you read that those two cows are feeding you so much that you wish to express your thankfulness by giving money to the glorious state!
