Interesting article, but it feels like it's grinding some weird axes. Like the way it harps on his lack of a degree, and awkwardly mentions the political alignment of people Tankus learned from (like "[he read a book] by the liberal John Maynard Keynes" or "[he studied with] with the leftist economist J.W. Mason").
Is this standard for Bloomberg?
- Miner49er 6y agoIsn't that important when talking economics? Liberalism as a political philosophy has a lot to say on economics (very pro capitalist and pro markets) and "leftism" informs the reader that Mason isn't a capitalist. It shows that he's learned from people with very different theories/opinions on economics.
