by Summary:
Blair what you’d call an economic heretic — someone who thinks that mainstream economics is largely ideology in service of the powerful. Rather than pay lip service to dogma, he prefers to follow the evidence. It’s a fun job, but one that makes him a pariah in economics departments. And so he finds myself doing crowdfunded science, supported by readers who appreciated my work. Website: https://economicsfromthetopdown.com/

Another great stream. Today I learned that a simple flexible tube is a marvelous audio tool and then how to un duck economics. 😉
As funny as his little mask is, I have to give him credit, he has been Covid free for over 3 years.
@Ty Keynes good. i know some who have had it 3 or 4 times. Each black, one in residences for neurosurgery + military and another doing retail jobs. crazy shit
Will try to keep an open mind but, honestly, I don’t think Tony Blair should be the guy we look to for a fix to anything.
Please tell me this is satire…
@ProfSteveKeen There`s an old joke, I`m not sure if it`s true, but someone once asked Margaret Thatcher what her greatest success was, and she answered Tony Blair…
Oh I see it now hahaha. [I don't think Tony "BLAIR" should be the guy we look to for a "FIX" to anything]. Well played.
@ProfSteveKeen I think it was a play on words.
@Ty Keynes I expected so, but in these ironically unironic days, you can never be sure…
Steve’s line about statue and corpses is making the rounds Caspian Report “Net Zero by 2050 is not happening” has some rather depressing news, but in it riff on his line
Great show – heterodox economics followers are very small lot – one day we will change the world but it will probably be too late
Ty – found a great interview for the show – Matthew Desmond – he's not an economics geek, he's a social scientist
Blair’s comment regarding pay structure – I am the controller of a small business (less than 50 people). And I do not know the pay structure – LOL
