Yep that's why I said "almost"

I had The Economist in mind :P

I said "almost" because I happen to be a person who pretty strongly agrees with Austrian economics. I'd think that linking a mises.org article might hint at that pretty strongly.

Economist, you wish.

That's the one, I screwed up my terminology (not an economist, just dated one for a while).

Indeed. The economists were presumably speaking relatively.

I just meant that an economist would have written differently in a lot of ways orthogonal to the point you were making. I didn't mean it as a value judgement (i.e. that an economist would have written it better), even though my post might have been read that way.

Thanks for catching that. Must have amalgamated two economists in my head.

As an economist: yes.

You can swap "often wrong" for "economist".

I had to restrain myself from saying that about economists.

Economist.

Yeah sure but economists love it. They built entire models around this idea.

cjbgkagh | karma 3587 | avg karma 2.36 · | 2023-10-10 10:36:23

Well they are economists...

local_crmdgeon | karma 748 | avg karma 1.26 · | 2023-10-02 13:48:04

That's the definition of an economist

ZeroCool2u | karma 2769 | avg karma 4.55 · | 2022-06-22 10:17:19

Perhaps, but I'm not an Economist and my work is far more often targeted at the operations side of things, so I really couldn't say.

mhomde | karma 1054 | avg karma 3.17 · | 2015-01-09 20:12:14+00:00

Ah sorry that's right, I always forget, maybe one in Economics then :)

apu | karma 4093 | avg karma 5.21 · | 2009-06-23 03:09:34+00:00

I wish I could give you an additional upvote for leaving out (intentionally?) economists from your list.
