I graduate this summer and somewhat feel like this right now. Advice, pointers, job offers, etc., all welcome…
I don’t understand how everyone else just knew what to do. like before graduating when they were doing a bunch of micro-internships ready for careers in management consultancy and magic circle law firms. how did they even know those were jobs
The word is ✨ out ✨ Thanks, prof @tylercowen 🤍marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolu…
This is a tough time for monetary policy. There's great ambiguity and it's unclear what the Fed should do. Those of us who support level targeting do so for precisely this reason. If the Fed makes a mistake, a level target will make it that much easier to get back on track.
“By Powell not being out there right now, he’s letting every single member of the Open Market Committee have a voice and be listened to,” said Claudia Sahm. “He’s giving them space to have this disagreement, and that’s actually a good thing because this is tough and you should…
@_AashishReddy is extraordinary and you should hire him when he graduates this year

Guy who looks at Britain and thinks we need to tax investment more
This is REALLY good. I’d equalise CGT and tax on dividends, certainly, and we need to re-configure council tax so London millionaires get such a sweet deal. But the truth is we need to increase tax across the board. It’s not just the rich. That would be nice though!
To me, the decline of absolute poverty makes me far less interested in distribution. Envy of relative differences is eternal, & can't be cut by changing distribution.
A point I should have made more clearly in today's debate. "A society can’t think about everything. A society can’t talk about everything. When our society thinks and talks about distribution, we are, by default, failing to think and talk about growth." betonit.ai/p/the-distribu…
Another political conspiracy of silence. Conservatives soaked the rich and protected middle earners who pay less direct tax than in other countries and than for decades in UK. If we want more revenue we need broad based tax rises. Can’t all come from some mythical rich “others”
If I asked you which country has the most progressive tax system in the developed world — where high earners hand over an especially large share of their income relative to the average worker — what would your answer be? The answer is in fact Britain. on.ft.com/3KfzmDq
Brutal honesty is what you want from a great research advisor
your post challenged me. every one of your points is wrong but i had to think about each for a while :)
No, the role of intellectuals is to tell the truth whether that opposes or supports authority.
The role of intellectuals is to challenge authority, not serve it.
My love for SSC is my most cringe take I really do think “THE CATEGORIES WERE MADE FOR MAN, NOT MAN FOR THE CATEGORIES” and “I can tolerate anything except the outgroup” are two of the best pieces ever written
Just think about what is going on when a class is taking notes: - Prof is talking - 40 people are simultaneously poorly transcribing versions of what the prof said Like, there is no universe where this is a particularly efficient thing to do
Shouldn’t read too much into it, but what stood out to me here was the person being like “this is what Harvard professors are like”, doesn’t even mention his name. Are people at Harvard taking Larry Summers’ class not aware of who Summers *is*, except for being their professor?
The fall of Larry Summers is being uploaded to TikTok btw
Unfortunately he gives it away in the reply so I can’t say “you will never believe what this guy thinks is the most important economics book in the last 10 years”.
The most important economics book in the last 10 years and you don’t understand it. I’m really glad you’re in the minority there. Here’s the economics department at Warwick Uni queueing up to buy The Deficit Myth when the author visited. This is how most people greet it.
On the same theme, lots of you should be interested in this discussion between @robinhanson and @DavidDeutschOxf: youtu.be/IBc1oVXen-o?si…

It's pretty amazing that we now have filmed conversations between leading thinkers, free for anyone to watch. A shame people don't take advantage of it more (this has 338 views now). youtube.com/watch?v=s4qMJw…
Perhaps more so than any actual fiction I read
What’s the best work of fiction you read this year?
Do any of you know what to do if my car won’t cooperate with me? I turn the key, and the ventilation turns on but the dashboard remains stubbornly black. There’s also an ominous clicking noise on repeat.
This seems unusually shameless
The news that a national lockdown could have been avoided is shattering. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone who lost loved ones during the pandemic. Kemi Badenoch should apologise on behalf of the Conservative Party. This tragedy must never be repeated.
“(I distinctly recall commuting to class on the bus, stewing in righteous anger that people around me dared to smile given all the poverty and suffering in the world. Given factory farming. Given wild animal suffering. If they knew!! Grr. 🙄)”
