In his cannon he refers to his mentor and inspiration quite a lot to justify his thinking, referring to the works of the great Ron Varro repeatedly. Nobody can find any reference to this person in the Economic profession. The reason why? "Ron Varro" is just an anagram of "Navarro". You literally couldn't make it up ...
That's almost as cringey as Trump leaking stories about himself bedding beautiful women under the name John Barron, and later naming his son Barron.
