To be clear, I've read a number of articles, primers, and research manuscripts about multiple economic theories, though often focusing on MMT, so I am not one of those that hears things like 'national debt' and goes howling at the moon and agro at the dinner table, and indeed am a step away from the common person in terms of education on the matter, but I am a neuroscientists, not an economist, and this is HN where there is almost always someone else that knows a whole lot more about something than yourself.
- jabl 8y agoMy point #0 wasn't specifically aimed at you, but at the general state of the economic policy discourse. Sorry about that. Coming from a STEM field myself, the state of economics with wildly different schools of thought is quite perplexing. But I guess that comes with the territory, considering that you can't really do society-wide experiments on different economic models, and even if you could, societies are so complex it's very difficult to discern the effect of a single measure.
