This person believes he represents his generation, and he is advocating for things that reduce economic prosperity. He should not be surprised about the results he's seeing.
- crdoconnor 13y agoThe same religious economic dogma we've had pushed on us for decades predicts that the things he's advocating reduce economic prosperity. They don't.
- EarthLaunch 13y ago> religious economic dogma Whatever this means that you feel persecuted by, the science of economics is clear enough about what promotes economic prosperity. History corroborates. You should be making a moral argument, though that would also be wrong.
- Volpe 13y agoWhich science, and history are you referring to? Australia and Canada have pretty good prosperity and have a number of things he is advocating for (in the US). US economy... while it's HUGE, would you call it prosperous?
- jsmeaton 13y agoAnd how long has that science been clear? Are we talking Keynes or Friedman? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shock_Doctrine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shock_Doctrine details examples of where total free market economics doesn't work for the vast majority of people.
