Cow Economics

Popbitch has an amusing little thing called cow economics. It uses the idea of owning cows to describe various different types of economic systems. A couple of my favourites include:

AN ITALIAN CORPORATION
You have two cows, but you don’t know where they are.
You decide to have lunch

AN AMERICAN CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of four cows.
Later, you hire a consultant to analyse why the cow has dropped dead.

Obviously everything on this site is the opinion of me, Ciarán Norris, and no-one else, including my employers and anyone else I know. I guess that it's probably obvious, but thought I should probably make it explicit. Anyway, enjoy!
