Is there any evidence that Nordic countries have higher rates of rehabilitation? The original assertions were based on terrible data: Norway has a recidivism rate of 20% because it only counts convictions in the following 2 years whereas th

So every enterprise becomes state owned? Ilya Sutkever's new company is already worth 32B so 31/32 of it should be owned by the government in your world? Who makes the decisions for it?

Its more common for proponents to obscure what affirmative action actually is. The idea when plainly stated is deeply unpopular and the magnitude of the affirmative action effect is much larger than popularly known. Here's the Harvard

US big tech devs typically make 3x+ what the Euro equivalent does. A 4500 deductible isn't really materially relevant. I (a US dev) have a high deductible plan but my employer contributes substantially to it anyway.

The private company case is worse because now it's completely illiquid. This all strikes me as a rich person's idea of what poor people want. Someone making $15/hour wants the $15 not $10 + equity in a private company worth $

Anyone can invest in public companies, how is it unattainable? I genuinely do not know what you or the article writer are referring to when you make this point.

The company profiled, Central States Manufacturing, has compounded at 20% per year since its formation in 1988 (according to the article). In comparison, Amazon has compounded at 23% since its IPO in 1997. If you are lucky enough to be a wo

I am apparently the only one that liked the article a lot. It's certainly a lot better than the original Graeber article which to me is a masterclass in stumbling over well known paradoxes and puzzles in economics and substituting in h

But these empirical findings do not contradict Coase's theory of the firm at all. Workers are paid to be available and do work as needed. Everything Graeber brings up has an explanation in basic economic theory but he makes no attempt

Prices are signals carrying information about how valuable consumers find a product. When you artificially dampen the signal, you reduce the incentive to produce below the societally optimal amount. This is the Econ 101 argument. If you thi

Your link says Novo earned 12B total in net profit not just from Ozempic. It seems like most of Novo's profits do not come from Ozempic so the profit from Ozempic would be substantially lower.
