Bari Weiss doesn’t seem to know basic economics. Are all consumer goods perfectly competitive markets? No. Is demand for consumer goods highly inelastic? Yes. Does the author account for collusion?

But after reading far too much of Bari Weiss’ writing, it seems clear that all she ever offers is surface level takes.
