That's just economics burying obvious problems under the rug.
Economics has become a clown science to me personally, because you can even tell them that you have a method to accomplish everything they claim happens automatically through a handful of policies and they will laugh you out of the room, while they keep juggling (and sometimes dropping) chainsaws and telling you that you just need to hold them right.
- AfterHIA 1y agoI'm not sure that I get your point but I dig your style. I too am skeptical of economists especially after reading the Nassim Taleb books. Elaborate friend.
- nradov 1y agoThe mistake you're making is confusing confidence for intelligence and insight. Taleb has a few good ideas but most of his writing consists of arguing against strawmen and making invalid assumptions about fields where he lacks any practical experience. It's mainly suckers who admire his writing.
- AfterHIA 1y agoI'm actually not a follower of Taleb although I do like his, "talk mad shit" style of engagement. In many ways I agree but this isn't speaking to the point of my previous comment.
