With tongue firmly in cheek! And with the help of students at a renowned London centre of economics excellence!

1) I’m the supply, you’re the demand, together at equilibrium, we can be one.
2) My fiscal policy is all about contributing to your private sector.
3) I’m perfect competition, but for you I can be a monopoly
4) Being your prisoner is no dilemma.
5) Let me quantitative ease you so the multiplier can take its effect.
6) I suggest you lower barriers to entry to encourage free exchange.

Can we get to ten? Comments below please!
