@foldvary Is that a new work?

How the Us Government Collapsed the Economy, and How to Build it Back Much Better.

@geophilos Participatory democracy requires small-group voting.

I am asked: why don’t economists listen to my warnings on the real estate cycle? Had my attention drawn to my reflections on this issue: youtube.com/watch?v=vviBbo…

@geophilos Is it still mass democracy?

How to combine restructuring both political decision-making (to deliver authentic democracy) and fiscal policy? Take a look at ic-uk.org.uk

@sorceressofmath the universal ethic

Sure, why not: ask me my unironic opinion on any topic and i will tell you what it is

@JordanDrty The rent of land.

@foldvary How can nature pay for collective goods?!

The economic mystery is why people reject nature’s offer to pay for collective goods, and instead seek to inflict costs on the very economy that sustains them.

@pierre_lemieux Natural resources are consumed but not produced.

"You cannot consume something that you want but cannot produce yourself, except if somebody else is motivated to produce it for you through exchange or out of benevolence." #production #consumption #economics econlib.org/logical-and-pr…

@pierre_lemieux People can consume natural resources.

My latest post: "Everybody cannot consume more if everybody produces less." #economics econlib.org/logical-and-pr…

@JanetYellen Why not a higher EITC rather than a higher minimum eage?

Upon taking office, I worried that many families would be haunted by the COVID economy long after the health emergency was over. But now, with the passage of the American Rescue Plan, I believe Americans will emerge from the pandemic with the foundations of their lives intact.

@ChiNeoliberal Untax everything else.

@patrick_oshag modern portfolio throty.

If you were building a school which only taught investing, what courses would you include? 101 through graduate level ideas welcome. (we may build this someday so your ideas may come to life!)

@JanetYellen Why are economists in the federal government promoting a higher minimum wage rather than a higher earned income tax credit?

@JoeBiden A $15 national minimum wage would cause more unemployment and hurt small business. Help the poor instead with a higher earned income tax credit.

Direct cash payments. Extended unemployment. Rent relief. Food assistance. Aid to small businesses. Keeping essential frontline workers on the job. Those are the key elements of my American Rescue Plan.

@hendersonhl22 Advanced.

@pierre_lemieux @realDonaldTrump @JoeBiden He should read Condorcet.

Biden invokes the unknowable and dangerous "will of the people" that other politicians invoke against him. @realDonaldTrump @JoeBiden econlib.org/new-year-wish-…
