Dani Rodrik warns that agreement among economists can create an illusion of certain knowledge. - Project Syndicate
Rodrik shows where economists have agreed on key issues arriving at a broad consensus...
This consensus about so many important issues contrasts rather starkly with the general perception that economists rarely agree on anything. "If all the economists were laid end to end," George Bernard Shaw famously quipped, "they would not reach a conclusion." Frustrated by the conflicting and hedged advice that he was receiving from his advisers, President Dwight Eisenhower is said to have asked once for a "one-handed economist."

Living in America is the new Horror Show ... For most most most most most most!
Bill Moyers is such a wise american. Would that more were much like him. So grounded in fact....
"The horror show is we are going to be slaves to profit. Some of us are going to be higher on the pyramid and we'll count ourselves lucky and many many more will be marginalized and destroyed," Simon tells Moyers. He blames a "purchased" Congress for failing America's citizens, leading many of them to give up on politics altogether.
This outcome was all forecast, but few pay attention or can even comprehend what an intervention might look like. A nation where beloved people can commit suicide and surrendering people can be shot dead?
What gives America?
