Economic theory and the death of a lion

Jim Riley

8th August 2015

Alas, poor Cecil! Close personal friend of mine, sadly dead now. The catch phrases of the Scottish comedian Bob Doolally capture the outpourings of grief amongst the Twitterati at the death of the now famous lion. The mourning is mixed with incoherent rage, as long standing opponents of torture and capital punishment demand that the dentist have his teeth pulled out without anaesthetic and then be sent to Zimbabwe to be hanged.
