Earlier you wrote: > Puzzle no more, the answers are obvious! and now you write: > Unfortunately, educating yourself on this topic is not easy and involves differential equations. Which is it? Obvious but... only if you're "educated"? > The economic models that fail to predict our current situation are simplifications. Are there economic models that are not simplifications? If being simplifications makes the models trivial to dismiss, but also all models are simplifications, then how do you successfully "predict our current situation"? I guess not with models. Just from first principles or something, but like, which? And then you need to provide the full chain of reasoning, and don't let that become a model. Or maybe it's simulations, but those are also invariably simplifications. It's hard to take this seriously. Some links would be appreciated. > And if you think I’m a leftist, you would also be wrong! I didn't refer to specific politics, just your politics whatever they happen to be. Now you tell me I'm an ignoramus while you're educated and that's why this stuff is obvious to you but not to me -- and also not to [some? many? most??] economists. Plus: > I’d link you, but I don’t think I’ll be getting a very receptive audience! Certainly no link -> non-receptive audience. Links might or might not improve the situation, but we can't tell till you furnish some.
