I had never heard of him but the title of this article is beyond a literary device- it is bait-and-switch. It is dishonest. You expect this from from shifty clickbait websites hawking beauty tips and lists of top 10 ___ "they" dont want you to know about. But you cannot take anyone serious who writes an article like this.
- carsongross 11y agoThe title is a joke. Yes, it's provocative, but give the guy a break: he's a small time economist at a second-tier university in an island nation who is saying some of the most interesting things about economics in the world today. You would be doing yourself a disservice not reading his stuff based on a blog post title.
- latj 11y agoWell, your description of him hits a little too close to home so I guess I have to give him a second chance. Also I wrote "hawking". haha.
- dang 11y agoYes, clearly a baity title. We changed the HN title to better reflect what the article argues. The argument itself is interesting, so let's all focus on that now.
