Examples

“And for your Sunday night delectation, we have⟳ a reading from the letter of Enda to the Austeritarians…”

“Austeritarians bang on about the debt while failing to plug⟳ revenue holes.”

“Nevertheless, it is useful to briefly discuss⟳ the theoretical controversies about admissible levels of debt and the tolerable duration of significant fiscal imbalances to explain⟳ why it is impossible to authoritatively delineate the universe of truly troubling cases of sustained and excessive debt accumulation from more moderate ones, and to establish⟳ that this book does not need⟳ to take⟳ sides in the academically and politically fraught debate⟳ between "austeritarians" and Keynesians.”
