COVID-19 slowed—but didn’t stop—the decline in global inequality. The Inequality of Human Progress Index shows widely shared gains in health, education, and living standards long term. Chelsea Follett and Vincent Geloso explain how markets softened the pandemic shock.

The aftermath of tariffs The tariff spree during the first 100 days of the current US administration created bewildering economic policy chaos. The first 100 days also marked the largest tax increase in more than a generation. This column, taken from a CEPR book on the economic consequences of the second Trump administration, discusses the consequences of the tariffs for the US economy and the larger world community.

US tariffs are not paid by other countries. That’s a lie through gritted teeth.

US tariffs are taxes on Americans. They are paid by Americans who buy anything made with any ingredient from abroad. (All of us.)

Cost: $2,600–3,100/yr. for the average American.

Are the BLS and Other Government Statistical Agencies Partisan? Here’s What My Research Found | The Daily Economy Bureaucracies are usually too self-serving to get partisan. The consequences of bad data are high, and error rates are pretty low — no matter who is president.

In liberal democracies, you can trust agencies like the BLS to be non-partisan. Not out of virtue, but bureaucratic self-interest

Tellement pleutres! L’exemple à suivre c’est Franz Boas.

Boas fut l’un des rares, à son époque, à s’attaquer frontalement aux thèses du racisme “scientifique”, démontant leurs prétentions pseudo-savantes alors que peu osaient le faire.

Je veux être Boas. Vous voulez juste ne pas faire d’efforts!

Pleutres!

Raisonnement faiblard de pleutres incapables de voir que leur paresse nourrit fascisme, extrémisme et illibéralisme. Débattre, c’est désarmer l’adversaire et immuniser contre le pire. Refuser ce combat, c’est avouer implicitement une faiblesse et encourager les périls. Pleutres!

Ces lâches se cachent derrière un pseudonyme pour défendre la liberté de mouvement et les droits des immigrants. Depuis 2018, je défends sans cesse celles-ci publiquement (voir images) et je reçois du vitriol sans cesse. Ces pleutres et lâches sont ceux qui alimentent les ennemis des immigrants

Ces clowns ne savent pas que je rejette la pertinence du concept de compatibilité culturelle. Cependant, ils ne saisissent pas que c’est l’argument le PLUS IMPORTANT auquel il faut répondre. C’est pourquoi il faut faire l’effort de répondre. Seuls les pleutres refusent l’effort intellectuel…

Il faut vraiment vivre dans le délire pour penser cela. ACD,c’est la personne à qui il faut répondre pour défendre l’immigration. C’est le steelman qu’il faut débattre.

Mais ici on a les faiblards intellectuels qui pensent qu’on gagne la bataille des idées en choisissant d’affronter des nains.

Trade, Tariffs, the Depression Nothing in recent history has so strikingly emphasized the need for international coöperation in the economic field as the business depression which now for over two years has weighed down upon the wo...

In a 1932 essay, the economist Percy Wells Bidwell discussed the role of tariffs in fueling the Great Depression: “if protective tariffs were in reality a cure for business crises, they would long ago have had a chance to demonstrate their efficacy.”

Say you’ve got very good causal IDENTIFICATION. Can you say you have causality, can make a causal general claim, and can say what “THE causal effect” is?

NO

We explain why in new article at Journal of Causal Inference.
