I don't know what it is about this urge to start new blogs in new places, but it's an urge I am inclined to give in to, much like the urge to end sentences with prepositions. Prepositions are terrible parts of speech to end sentences with. I ought to know. 

Anyway, the blog name is inspired by none other than John Maynard Keynes, at least indirectly. I'm not exactly a Keynesian, but ya gotta love a good turn of phrase, and we are all indeed dead in the long run. Since this is my first post, I'll spare you the details about how I'm much more likely to play kissyface with a classical economist. 

But fear not, dismal scientists, I see a day in the near future when that will indeed be the case!
