This is so long overdue, it's almost useless. Where were these laws in the roaring 80s and 90s when rich people were actually making money (instead of today's stagnation)? Everyone who has cash to move has probably moved their mon

Let me rephrase that somehow. If you have a remedy that fixes the symptoms but not real cure for cancer, and the guy in indonesia does not, on average you have half a remedy. If you have a cure for cancer and the guy in indonesia does not,

To me, all this shows is that economics is very hard. I like krugman although he s a bad public speaker and a sore loser, yet even he cant model long-term effects of things. I wonder where his thought process fails
