dutch disease ( briefing note )

Order Description

“I thought Dutch Disease was something that the Minister of Health should be addressing. Doesn’t it have something to do with dirty toes? Or isn’t it about tulip bulbs or something like that? So, why does the Premier want me to provide him with a briefing note on this issue?

“Exchange rates you say my good Deputy Minister? Ahhhh … seems you know a thing or two about this issue, eh? So what’s the story? What is it? What’s the origin of the phrase? Is it applicable in other countries? Has it struck Canada or is it nonsense in the Canadian context? What are the various points of view about it? What do you recommend we should do about it … more athlete’s foot spray?

“Please put together a two-page briefing note on this issue for me that I can pass on to the Premier. Make a claim. Explain it. Use evidence to support your reasoning. Assess the various viewpoints and make a solid recommendation that flows from your analysis. Remember that the Premier is an economist so you can write using that fancy mumbo jumbo language used by economists …,” said a Minister of Finance who was in the process of taking off his socks.
