Angus Deaton and Paul Krugman in Conversation

[@MartyMcfly65]

No better example of economics guided by political biases than Krugman.

Bon bagay, @The Graduate Center, CUNY. As an immigrant myself, that was a very GREAT & informative lecture. Keep em coming more often (but also lower your tuition)!

[@csm515]

Krugman strawmanning the opposing immigration argument. Most people are not anti-immigration, they’re against uncontrolled, illegal immigration.

[@ten_tego_teges]

He suddenly started stammering x3 more as if someone put a gun to his head and threatened to pull the trigger if he expressed wrongthink. Then we blurted out that he doesn't wanna say immigrants aren't people as if that sentiment was hinted in any way by Angus. What an odd display of self-censorship.

[@billedley795]

Well, Prof. Krugman... I've read your material for years, and I am heartened by your discussion today with Angus Deaton.

If we accounted for the externalities in international trade they way we have started to count the externalities from greenhouse gas emissions all models would force economies to be protectionist.

Economic investigator Frank G Melbourne Australia is following this very informative content cheers Frank 😊

[@jamie5397]

How can an economist that has been exposed as wrong time after time still have a platform. Krugman is laughable as an economist. All he expresses is his deepest wishes not based at all in reality

[@theodorearaujo971]

There are depths of dispair in Liverpool as well as Scotland.

Not one time did they mention the pareto principle,80 20 rule or prices law and the square root rule . Number of people preforming an action,work ect squared do 50% of the worķ. 100 squared = 10 and that 10 does 50% of the work. When they solve this issue they may solve inequalities.

Why would the audience lament at the expression of "camp-following whores"? Deaton already said it was the vituperation by Buchanon himself verbatim in the piece he wrote in WSJ. And if one knows about history, one would easily understand the metaphor, and that it is not meant in any vulgar & demeaning way.... Was it because some of the audience were possibly immature grad or undergrad students or some of them were just overly PC or woke? If so, that is deplorable that some people deliberately overreact or pretentiously squirm even at a well-established age-old expression rooted in history & social norms of different times.... After all, openness to the different values & norms from different times and cultures is the idea that CUNY stands behind, or at least that's what I thought it did...

[@farzana6676]

It's a modern day university in America. They consist of 90% woke.

[@theodorearaujo971]

The issue with immigration is eactly the same as international trade. Immigration on the scale we are experiencing is destroying the most fragile communities in the U.S. It's only becoming an isue now because it has started to affect the standard of living of the wealthy on the coasts.

[@farzana6676]

Not to mention the differences in core foundational values between Islamist immigrants and Western populations.

[@Rickelsonnih]

Host Paul Krugman exposition [Tracks 10:30-11:15;], forwarding a rhetorical question alluding to a contemporary argument that Asian are sought after as a jump start to Silicon Valley investment portfolio startup value propositions, in-spiteful of U.S. restrictive immigration policy of 1880s against Asian immigrants, notwithstanding such an Obfuscatius attack on Deaton’s scholarly arguments. 14:30- 15:03

[@billedley795]

Is there a correlation between poor health pain and suicide?

[@JHoek-jc2ix]

I think Deaton speaks about that during talk at Nexus

[@donaldflett1504]

Simply fascinating discussion. I just LIKE Paul Krugman and have been reading him for many decades. I disagree with him on the validity of Modern Monetry Theory (MMT) which is correct, in my opinion, and the key economic basis for progress. But I am confident that he will come around eventually. Again, thank you for this great discussion.

[@action55jackson]

A Texan would not ask that question but would ask why we allow illegal immigration.

[@fredflinstone8379]

Krugman is such a partisan

[@linchudson4990]

Who the hell wants to raise their kids to be wage-slaves their whole lives? When are we going to see more worker-owned businesses, whether industrial or digital, sprouting up? One of you should write a book untitled "The Ownership Imperative". No wonder the birthrate is declining.

THE BIG CON GAME !!
