Maybe I should of prefaced that last statement by saying no offense to anybody with a degree in economics.

Low talent thp? I would at least think I'm average, maybe I give myself too much credit. :roll:


The chicago school of economics is far more prevalent these days than keyneseian economics, from what i can tell.

Even the keynesians aren't really true keynesians anymore.

So it was an obvious troll.


Actually, I'll agree with you on the second part. A lot of the politicians that use the Keynesian argument seem to use it more of an excuse to increase spending or not make any spending cuts rather any understanding of it.


I agree with you that we've just been seeing Chicago style economics lately, though I'm surprised people here are finally acknowledging that I was right when I pointed it out a while ago.

Back to the video, I thought it was hysterical that she tried to paint him to be an incompetitent idiot and it turns out he has academic expertise in the area he is commenting on.

*shrug* I figure there's some value in suggesting that we not do what made things worse back in the day.

If by "lately" you mean "The last 70 years or so".

You really have no idea what is meant by "chicago school of economics", do you?

Go ahead and google it. But I'll give you a hint: Your team thinks it is devinely inspired.

I don't mean last 70 years, I'm talking the last 2.5 years, and I actually do know what Chicago style economics in practice are, it is crony capitalism, pay to play on an entirely new level.

You're a goddamn idiot.

There are two major theories of economics studied.

One of them is a macroeconomic rejection of Keynesian theory.

It largely originated at the University of Chicago.

Thus, it's referred to as the chicago school of economics.

I'm not referring to that, I'm referring to what is known as the "Chicago Way."
