LOLOLOLOL go suck a dick Krugman. Marx predicted robots in 1850.



Aristotle had a robot thousands of years before that. Marx and Krugman are cavemen banging bones together and pretending it's music.

But no, he was correct - he'd spotted a basic error in the spreadsheet. The Harvard professors had accidentally only included 15 of the 20 countries under analysis in their key calculation (of average GDP growth in countries with high public debt).

You're citing an article written by a liberal economist. This kind of incrementalism-of-the-deed is killing the Left.

Debt is only possible under a liberal system where all forms of rent and interest have not been abolished. You will never see that in the economic study you posted.

I like the OP but I can't really know if its conclusions are true without seeing the actual correlations. Until then it's a lot of meaningless bar graphs.

That's a reasonable post, but meaningless bar graphs and tortured hopscotch are what blogconomics is all about.

We need to move away from liberal economics and the idea that debt and/or economic growth is a good thing. If debt increases economic growth and social justice then those are already causes for alarm.

Regarding the op: isn't liberal economics actually more of a "success", in that it has enabled the lizardmen of capital to more fully consolidate and exercise power over society and production?

They do some other disingenuous stuff in that paper but the excel error might actually be accidental. Like 30% of journal articles in economics have major errors because the peer review and publishing system is awful and no one wants to put in the effort to actually check proofs, replicate results, evaluate code, etc.

No shit, it's like videogames nowadays. Academia is a living example of the failure of central planning quotas, when your institution wants to paste 10,000 articles all over the internet you better copy off Wikipedia to compete with the Chinese. Couldn't have said it better myself- I posted it after all.

Academic economics are still less of a joke than the blogs, as easily manipulated as it is. At least you can do a meta-review and detect the bias.

Unless there's only one study ever on a critically important topic because everyone is focused on accumulating more and more foreign aid and trade openness studies.
