o. look. "What this means, I believe, is that a country with its own currency would not be subject to the kind of self-fulfilling panic that is now arguably hitting Italy." and "I'm not going to answer this; truly, I don't know. But it's important." "To some extent we may be looking at reverse causation, with troubled economies forced into harsh austerity while those doing well can keep expanding spending. because Slide No.10. r u fucking kidding? Diversity is the key to economic and political evolution.
I have never known what to make of the California Cohort, perhaps that is a Mandarin phrase, perhaps it is a play on 'petite bourgeoisie'. If the language reference is to economics, yes, it is a language, and no, I am not an economist, but the language of economics is easier to learn than Mandarin. I have spent the last ten years studying economics, economic history, the history of economics, etc. As Keynes' student Joan Robinson told the assembled American Association of Economists one year in an annual address, the purpose of an education in economics is to prevent being deceived by economists.
Deception is exactly what most US Economists have provided to the US population, and that deception has been used to enforce austerity and to facilitate the looting of the nation by the elite. Which is why I think it is time for that deception to end. With a larger role for government spending, properly done, prosperity can return to the average citizen, and with that prosperity, the kind of confidence we need to tackle the challenges that lie ahead. That prosperity will also reduce the pressure that has led the USA to the brink of a fascist takeover. IMO, an outcome devoutly to be desired. You may differ or scoff as you will.
As to Italy or other members of the Euro-Zone, they do not have the same latitude with fiscal policy as does the USA, or even the UK. This is because those countries are currency users, not currency issuers, and the European Central Bank sets monetary policy for the Euro-zone predominantly in the interest of the strongest economy, Germany. Worse, they enforce rules about the maximum deficit a country can run that can be very harsh indeed on some of the smaller economies. So MMT is not an option for Euro-Zone countries. "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
Blow me.

ergo, Krugman. fucktard beefsteak. Diversity is the key to economic and political evolution.
"eoconomists" DO NOT make financial decisions, in a domestic "industrial policy"
Agreed, but they set the terms of discussion under which those decisions are made and promulgate them to all undergraduates who take Economics 101. Sadly. "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
Are you mental? Diversity is the key to economic and political evolution.
Krugman can't help you. Diversity is the key to economic and political evolution.

you freak, who cares?! Diversity is the key to economic and political evolution.

I don't bluff, yo. Diversity is the key to economic and political evolution.
Perhaps you failed to notice that I was critical of Krugman, implicitly and explicitly, as was the article from which I quoted.
I do recall responding to you one time recently by commiserating with what I suspected was your disdain at people using acquisition of rental property as a way to personal wealth. While it does and has worked for many, it has negative social costs.
And I have absolutely no desire to have my ass kissed by yourself or anyone. Not my thing. "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
The other day, I asked why someone was troll-rating your comments. Wasn't that cool of me?
Now I think that troll-rating is they way to clean up this mess.
