Tyler Cowen, big business booster extraordinaire, is concern trolling.
He calls this type of writing “Straussian” — It’s not meant to be taken literally, it’s a kind of intentional obfuscation.

- KibbutzDalia 7y agoWe get it! We know how to read Tyler Cowen. It's interesting because it shows another real way to look at a wealth tax--as a very high tax on (large) long term capital gains. It's framed like it's just two pennies. The trolling is the mentions that museums will have to sell off their collections, etc.
