An excellent example of Engrish. I found this phrase a definition of South Korea submitted on September 5, 2003 by someone named Park SJ. Look up the definition and see for yourself. Sounded so hilarious that it deserved its own entry in UD. Has the potential to become the new all your base are belong to us.

The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money

title of book by John Maynard Keynes (1883-1946) outlining the general concept of Keynesian economics. The book was published in 1936.

*Context*
______________________________
Prior to the Great Depression, opinions about how to properly manage the economy were dominated by Neoclassical economics, which advocated little government intervention. In particular, unemployment was regarded as the consequence of workers failing to accept wages sufficiently low to permit full employment.

During the Great Depression, unemployment soared to 25% in the USA and Germany. Economics had no advice to give to leaders anxious to do something, and none of the neoclassical predictions were coming true. The government of the UK commissioned J.M. Keynes to lead a commission of top British economists in a general review of economic theory; their finding were summarized by Keynes in *The General Theory*.

*The Findings*
______________________________

The Cambridge team did not have access to statistics of national income and product accounting (NIPA). They did have some data on unemployment and prices, especially from the USA.

Keynes also identified several inherent logical problems with neoclassical economic theory about saving and investment. The theory said that all economic output of an economy would tend to be consumed; all saving would be invested; and all workers would be employed, *provided wages fell low enough*.


Keynes noted the economic mechanism by which investment occurs has little to do with the existing rate of saving; both are influenced by interest rates, but other forces come into play (e.g., liquidity preference for saving, business opportunities and user cost for investment). Hence, aggregate demand can drift very far out of alignment with output (or potential output).

Another finding was that employment rates actually did not respond in a predictable way to the fall in wages. The US economy suffered periods when a reduction in the wage level lead to increases in employment, despite the assumption that workers would have withdrawn from the labor market.

Finally, Keynes proposed the use of monetary policy and fiscal policy for regulating business cycles.
The *The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money* completely shook up the world of economic policy. Hereafter, governments took responsibility for economic conditions or they lost power.

The Glenbrook Academy of International Studies

A special division of Glenbrook South and North with 120 students at any given time, 30 students per grade level, that have special privileges. These unique species commonly affiliate themselves with hardcore debate, classical music, too much technology, and often have nothing better to do than their homework. Students in the "Academy" are often labeled "Academites".
Typical conversation between a teacher and a student from the Glenbrook Academy of International Studies:

Teacher: Who are you?

Academite: I'm in the Academy and was wondering if I could--

Teacher: Yes.

Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

The title of the most annoying page on Internet Explorer. Formerly known as "This page cannot be displayed".
My sister needs to stop using her computer while I am using mine because when we try to use the internet at the same time, the internet disconnects and I would get a stupid error message that reads "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" instead of the page I tried to go to.
