>>>he's not a trained economist so far as I know
What? I'm astonished you said that. How many people who have created the companies of today were "trained" to do them. Show me Jeff Bezos' bookselling training. Steve Jobs' design training and programming degree. The Google team's former analog advertising agency and their degrees in those fields. Just stop.
- tptacek 14y agoNobody trains to be a bookseller.
- mikecane 14y agoSeriously? Then you know nothing about the field.
- jbooth 14y agoPoint taken, but I'll still take someone with some credentials or track record over some wacko muttering into his drink at the bar. When the wacko founds a fortune 500 company, I'll pay attention.
- mikecane 14y agoWacko? There is nothing he said there that was wacko. If you mean his Tea Party affiliation, I didn't even learn of that until after reading. I think you're letting something other than his argument color your reaction.
- jbooth 14y agoI was talking about the general case you were debating with Mr. Tacek, about complete amateurs vs those with a track record. Wasn't commenting on the author. I didn't finish the article because of the ALTERNATING bold FONTS, so I can't really comment on the substance.
- mikecane 14y agoWell, you missed out on a good argument. When I'm annoyed by formatting, I just copy the text into WordPad and read it.
