PARA AS SOGRAS QUE ENCONTREI NA VIDA

É uma carta ao editor publicada na última edição da Economist:

SIR - Lexington stated that Mr Obama faces "a mother-in-law of a recession". This is not a wholly accurate description. Unlike mother-in-laws, recessions rarely arrive unexpectedly on one's doorstep. Nor do they exhibit behavioural patterns that defy normal rational explanation. And although both share a capacity to inflict misery and despair on the innocent, the scars from a recession will eventually heal.
