Where do you see that I was suggesting that having a quote from a single economist proves that "economists in general believe something"? My complaint was that the headline lead me to believe that I would get some perspective from at least one (and hopefully more than one) economist. Instead, it seemed to repeat the criticisms that I've read on a few random blogs (i.e. from non-economists).
- kabushikigaisha 15y agoWould it really matter if they had quoted some economist, honestly? As cynicalkane said, for any one virtuous, wise economist they had chosen to hear, they could get the exact opposite position from another one...lending the whole exercise to be another form of mental masturbation. Not very informing or interesting.
