Lmao what. I can get being salty about MMT, with all the money printing going on and rising unemployment. But where exactly did a pretty protectionist, mixed-market Korean economist touch you to result in such triggering?

Hayek's writings are fine if you take them into the context of personal responsibility when trying to apply them to life in 2021. There are some genuinely valuable lessons to be learned in them.


You're being a little unfair.

If you have ever read an "economics" book that isn't a textbook, please go out and become an hero.

Go out on the beach, read some classic Lucas, enjoy a nice Romer paper, and have a laugh with Christiano.

I've powerleveled before and have vouches to back. I literally am a doctor of the field ffs.

Just because you don't like some views doesn't negate them. I also mentioned my personal leanings match my professional.

I don't even know why this got under my skin but you sound like that guy who needs a proper stuffing in a locker.

It could be part because I have a torn pec muscle and drowning my sorrows.

Either way now I feel like a faggot bragging but will leave this for mockery of my stupid drunk actions.

I hate it to break it to you bro, but your PhD from hamburger university doesn't really matter much.

Except, you know, there's literally zero empirical evidence to back your autism up. At least come up with a model. But I forgot, who cares about evidence when you have praxeology on your side.

You're a LRM at best and most probably a CC
grunt with dreams of getting a non tenure track position at GMU. Sorry to say, but it's not much to brag about.
 
Milton Friedman because you are more invested in spending your money on things you need/want than a politican who's spending your money.
 
Well Hjalmar Schacht was the smartest banker with his Mefo Bills.

Also he was no Nazi, an allied court found him not guilty.

I will chime in here, with my professional (I'll spare a power level) view.

Seriously, and no meming, Mother fucking Adam Smith. He IS modern economics, anything is based off him, he is the corner stone of the field still. Many of the things he wrote about are outdated unrelated but the core is still there, were we get the splits of the schools come from him, it's all based on his understanding of the market it self.

While I love love LOVE people like Sowell, and have a signed Hans Herman Hoppe on my work desk, Smith founded my field period and you need to have a serious education, to understand how to still grasp something from him. Not to say, you can't read him green or unversed. But imho you read Smith because "he's the guy who started it" then go on to other people and kinda ignore him and think well who cares about 1700s grain price and how does that matter? Then you start thinking back and re read Smith educated and damn.. he was THAT good.

Also Paul Krugman is a faggot and literally wrong on everything always, I hope suffering upon him everlasting.

Sowell? *Scoffs*
Have you even read Loki?

No but seriously is Sowell a good read? I have never read his books or anything i always tought he was a token black man.

So its an ideology for Karing farmers? Based!
 
if finance ministers count then Paul Keating

dude tanked the polls so much to force-feed Australia a recession but it was a recession hiding an unprecedented 30-year nonstop growth that was barely challenged in 2011 (and another Labor treasurer fixed that crisis as well) in addition to fixing taxation and establishing most of the welfare state that would destroy the opposition if they tried to undo it

dude doesn't even have a economics degree but saves the country anyway, what a chad
 
Sorry for being a faggot. I don't know why I got butt mad (wait I do called being drunk and having bad health week).

For basic econ texts, Samuleoson wrote a ton including text books.
 
Though I'm not big into economics, I like Henry Clay and Friedrich List.

That's not economics, though. The video is just bullet points about slavery everyone with a working forebrain who isn't a complete indoctrinated simp already knows. You mean whites weren't the only ones to enslave people and races other than whites were complicit in African slave trade? Wow, what a revelation.

My read on Sowell is that he's a pop-economist, like Jordan Peterson is a pop-psychologist. He doesn't seem to have contributed many original ideas to the field and his most significant work has been in sociology. I don't think he can be grouped with heavyweights like Hayek, Friedman, Mises etc.

While Dr. Sowell, does focus on social issues etc, if you find his college work etc (all public domain mind you) he's fucking bright.

I don't want to kiss ass too hard because I think, it's such a mystery and looked at like some kinda rocket science as well as snooty to the public. But I think branching out and talking about your views and ideas has a lot of merit.

Also, If you ever see the episode of Murdoch Murdoch with Willie Pierce, seeing basic economics set on fire as "nigger garbage" is fucking hystrical.

I really don't mind him as a brand manager, to the field. Esp when cockheels like Bernake, Yellen (who personally I think sold out more than inept) and that FAGGOT Krugman are the "face" of the field of study.
