>his assessments are consistently proved right by history
Wouldn't say that. His predictions about the Internet, specifically, are laughably incorrect. He's since tried to play it off like he was intentionally trying to be provocative, or was supposed to say something silly... which is a coward's way out.
EDIT: His theories on Bitcoin are pretty devoid of intelligence, regardless of whether or not he ends up being correct.
>His opinions about politics are fairly worthless.
Yes, I agree. He should largely be banned from writing about them considering how much it undermines his areas of expertise.
- mtdewcmu 10y agoThe examples of bad predictions that you mentioned are outside his area of expertise. I usually skip those columns. He has to write two columns a week and I think he runs out of topics. His on-topic columns can be repetitive, too. The solution is not to force yourself to read the column if you know it's going to be bad. If it's not about pure economics, don't read it.
