An index of economic indicators
Posted on December 11, 2008 at 1:15 pmAn Economist blogger says he can judge the health of an economy by taking a look at the faces of the men in its economic capital:
During the 2001 recession I knew things were getting better when I noticed lots of men sporting tans. I called it the hedge-fund tan. The tanned men I spoke with had lost their jobs at big banks, used their severance to take a long holiday, and just returned to work at a hedge fund. But for now, the New York man remains pale and stubbly (note—this was always the look in much of Brooklyn).
