The Economist's poll of economists: Examining the candidates

Why do people always turn these threads into flaming. Triple your just attacking tse tse, how about addressing the points?


I'd really, just once, love to see someone on TW actually state HOW John Mccains plans for the Economy are better than Obamas.


FACTS you faggots, FACTS. Jesus is that so fucking hard to ask for when presenting the fact that the GOP ticket is so far up your ass you can taste it?

Neoclassical is a very precise term that is used for very precise reasons. Don't pretend for a second that it is on par with often emotionally charged words like "neoconservatism." The term is used because it's based on classical philosophy, that is, philosophy espoused by Plato/Socrates. The alternative, in this context, is rational philosophy, that is, philosophy that is espoused by Aristotle.

In short:

neoclassical : rational :: Plato : Aristotle

How is Mccains plan to fix the economy going to work? How is it good? How is it better than Obamas plan?


Can anyone answer that?
 
I think the Brectian influence of the dusseldorf school, when conflated with the theories of the 1970s french post-renault economic philosophers, clearly shows that neo-clasicalism economics is nothing more than simple anarcho-modernist theory.

Therefore hitler bush is a moron, long live lord obama.

The truth is... you've bought into the von Mises libertarian nonsense and thus babble this shit about how everything else is socialist and leftist. You honestly think that The Economist is "left-leaning" because they believe there is a role for government in markets... even though they are one of the most famous pro-market, pro-limited government, pro-democracy, PRO-CAPITALIST mags on earth. lol

5 pages later, you've yet to produce a coherent and sensible explanation for why The Economist is "left-leaning."

Fuckin' edit two hours later. :rofl:

The Economist is not pro-capitalist. Not in the slightest.

TseTse, let's try this again.

Is "liberal" considered "left" in the UK?
Is "conservative" considered "right" in the UK?

Jesus christ, i already explained this shit to you already... :ugh:

The term "liberal" is usually used to imply right-oriented philosophy outside the USA which is its historical political and economic implication in terms of being focused on individual rights, free trade, limited government, etc. As in classical liberalism and its offshoots.

"Conservative" in the UK tends to mean something more specific in the UK, because it refers to a party that has Tory roots and leans towards old school monarchy leanings. Folks sometimes sarcastically call them "her majesty's loyal party" or whatever.

That's why the Economist calls itself "liberal" and not "conservative."

yeah, you know what, i have a B.S. in economics from the U.S. Naval Academy and you have what again?

Nothing. "real policy shit"? I mean seriously. All you do is copy and paste shit you read in the economist, which i agree is a fantastic publication that i too subscribe to.

but you've never had an original thought and you're a closed minded pompous asshole who "can't lose" an argument even when he's already lost.

once again, i have a B.S. in economics from the US Naval Academy and you probably barely graduated from high school.

Suck my big ass dick you fairy.

Flame away, tough guy. :lol:

I honestly dont give a fuck about your academic credentials when you are stupid enough to think triple "owned" anybody by showing he hasn't the fucking slightest clue what he's talking about.

And i might add, he had NOTHING to say about economics... so what's your point.

Nothing, you just want to diss me cuz you're a troll with nothing to contribute...

If you have something to say about economics and the election, feel free to share it. Go ahead...

The only McCain supporter participating in this discussion is TseTse, the thread starter.

So I'm not sure who you're addressing, but I'll bet you're addressing him because you've somehow convinced yourself that if someone disfavors Oblackman then he must necessarily favor McCain. How fucking petty and politically immature is that?

I wouldn't argue your point on the neo prefix. But I do argue your point on lack of regulation equals monopolies and giant companies. Lack of regulation encourages competition imo. For regulation raises the barrier to entry into markets further entrenching established companies. I would point to airline deregulation as an example. Regulation is required when the market cannot deal with situations that affect parties not involved in transactions. So I am not against regulation. I am against over regulation.

If someone in the UK calls himself "left" leaning, would the person to whom he is speaking associate that with "liberal"?


If someone in the UK calls himself "right" leaning, would the person to whom he is speaking associate that with "conservative"?
