Quick One

(Maybe I am not the first to write this, but it bears repeating if I am doing so)

Note to any sympathetic writers, regardless of status:

Please replace the word "confidence" with the word "belief" whenever writing about economics, and more specifically, the feelings of consumers or investors. Sure, it is a subtle substitution but i think it does slightly subvert the notion that that there is any intrinsic rationality to free-market capitalism, especially when compared to other, more maligned forms of socioeconomic organization.

Thanks.
