Chicken Farming

Postby Мастер » Fri Oct 19, 2012 8:51 am

From The Economist, in an article about neoliberal politics:

How did a few Viennese economists persuade a grocer's daughter, a former film star and Europe's greatest chicken farmer to unravel 40 years of state expansion?


The grocer's daughter is Margaret Thatcher, and the former film star is Ronald Reagan.

Who is/was Europe's greatest chicken farmer?

Oops, never mind, it's Anthony Fisher.

I was running through presidents, prime ministers, those sorts of people, in my head.

My first thought on reading "chicken farmer" was him.

The article was silent on this point.
