It’s an anarcho-capitalist perspective, but he leans right on the political spectrum.

    Nope, I’ll come in, insult him, and dip out because believing in the nonsense ancaps believe precludes knowing how macroeconomics work.

    Anarcho-capitalism isn’t a political and economic ideology so much as it’s a communicable personality disorder closely related to Dunning Kruger syndrome.

      I take it you can tell me what system better works with macroeconomics and, thus, why I shouldn’t listen to this guy?

        I could, but frankly it’s not worth expending more than a couple of sentences on and to adequately describe how fundamentally asinine ancap beliefs are would take slightly more.

          Just throwing a name out there couldn’t hurt. Your favorite system, your favorite economist, that kind of thing? If you don’t want an argument, then that’s fine, but you’re keeping me from some real saucy forbidden knowledge here.

            Rumpelstiltskin.

            Huh, you’re right! Zero pain whatsoever!

              “Rumpelstiltskin” is a German fairy tale about a miller’s daughter who is forced to give her firstborn child to a mysterious gnome-like man in exchange for his ability to spin straw into gold

              This guy sounds like quite an odd economist. I’m not sure I would trust his opinions. But if that’s all you want to say, then I guess that’s that.
