MMT: A)Gov't can fully finance its operations via "printed" $ from its central bank w/o taxing. (So what else is new?!) B. Gov't SHOULD exercise its power under point A, thus taking control of even MORE resources, unless this brings price inflation. MMT=Modern Monetary Tyranny

Pretty soon students are going to be turning up at economics courses having read about Modern Monetary Theory: knowing more about government spending/origins of money/central bank versus commercial banks and so - than their tutors. Lots of difficult questions in the first term.

Communists love to do these bait-and-switches around their theory supposedly being "scientific" or "historical." Sure, they'll say that their theory is just a theory of history, that history will inevitably march toward communism due to "contradictions" inherent in capitalism.…

I thought the thesis of communism was that free trade constitutes exploitation of the workers; would that not entail that sanctioned countries no longer have to face this exploitation and thus should be vastly wealthier?

Socialist Bernie Sanders is upset that rich people might get richer by developing AI. Apparently, the real tragedy isn’t poverty or scarcity, but the possibility that someone might profit while making everyone else’s life easier. If AI raises profits by raising productivity,…

I will be pushing for a moratorium on the construction of data centers that are powering the unregulated sprint to develop & deploy AI. The moratorium will give democracy a chance to catch up, and ensure that the benefits of technology work for all of us, not just the 1%.

There's a determined group of people who insist that the prevalence of cost-plus pricing strategies calls into question the claims that anticipated prices determine costs and that costs never determine prices. Let's see why they're wrong.

Have you ever worked in a shop, a restaurant, a consulting company... or anyone where people *actually* set prices? Most prices used some sort of cost+markup formula.

Dia de greve geral. Um pacote laboral que não toca no setor público… Mas mesmo assim vai tudo parar por “solidariedade”. É esta a verdade nua e crua: Tu és roubado meio ano pelo Estado nos salários, compras, casa, carro, taxas ridículas e quem vive desse dinheiro roubado…

Let's settle this will a quick economics 101. Imagine an island with 100 people. All of them have just a crude spear allowing them to catch 1 fish per day. GDP is 100 fish per day. So long as everyone eats one fish per day, the economy will never grow. They're consuming their…

I'm rich & this is a lie. When politicians lower my taxes, I don't create additional jobs (only demand does that). I simply save that money Trickle-down economics has been repeatedly debunked yet conservatives lie to you so they can give their wealthy overlords more tax cuts

I really dislike this notion that socialists have good intentions. There is nothing good about their intention to use state force to redistribute our private property according to their political interests.

You’re smuggling in a premise that confuses risk with rights. The non-aggression principle isn’t built on the idea that nothing anyone does can affect anyone else. It’s built on the far narrower point that effects aren’t claims. The mere fact that your neighbor’s choices might…
