Andrew Brown

Andrew Brown seems to be one of the Guardian writers to watch out for (incidentally, so many of the new stories I mention are from the Guardian due to the fact they do good work, compared to the opposition, with RSS feeds).

This little quip was originally published here.

"I notice from Niall Fergusson's long piece on the financial crisis in Vanity Fair that since 1957, when the US Dollar was adorned with the motto "In God we trust", its value has fallen by 87% relative to the consumer price index. This is no more than a measure of inflation, I know. But it is still a fun statistic."
