What a useless article. No real conclusion and no new information. Raising the minimum wage CAN have negative effects. This is obvious. If you raise the minimum wage to $10,000 per…

There are massive flaws in the logic of this piece. In order for JP's metaphors to be accurate, the following would need to be true: 1) CELL PHONES CAUSE HURRICANES. 2) HOSTILE ALI…

Wow. I read this news on Twitter first and immediately thought what you so eloquently wrote above (even so far as comparing the imperfect measure to democracy or capitalism). Excep…

Precisely. Decision-making is more complicated than it seems and people actually intuit a lot of it (such as nonlinear consequences).

Just like his "400 mi range BMW", I fear George will find himself on the wrong side of history. Let's start with cars: why has George gone out of his way to put down Tesla, lumping…

Unpopular opinion but to me this reinforces the massively important role of short sellers in free markets. Yes they are often on the wrong side of these "exposés" (Tesla comes to m…

Looks like (b) is the answer. They released this tweet on Aug 7, 2019 (the next day after announcing they were targeting an LSE-listed company): https://twitter.com/muddywatersre/s…

First sentence states: "When faced with a decision, people may know which choice gives them the best chance of success, but still take the other option." THIS CAN BE RATIONAL. "Bes…

Yes, this is the 2nd totally unprecedented economic "black swan" in the past 12 years. But I agree with you. The cause may always be different, but the problem lies in the principl…

I spent two years studying US regional banks and I can tell you that what you're saying is factually correct. 08 effectively nationalized the big banks. "Too big to fail" means any…

Exactly. I think the country example would be similar to the state with billionaires leaving but more importantly, companies leaving due to the higher corporate tax rate that would…

Scandinavian countries are an interesting example. For example, they heavily tax their middle class, are quite business-friendly and have no required minimum wage. But as you are a…

I think we focus too much on the "should"s and not enough on the mechanisms that make things like public healthcare, public transpo, etc. a reality. Obviously these standards of li…

Sometimes I wish we could pick a US state and turn it into this vision. Social safety net for all, free healthcare for all, no loopholes for the rich. There are so many people who …

Value investing has been replaced by government support. Big companies like airlines are not allowed to "get cheap" anymore. From Berkshire Hathaway alone, there are hundreds of bi…

I am working on a project and I would like to write an article about it when it's finished. I thought about posting to Medium but since I have noticed Medium limiting the articles …

You can argue that the coronavirus is an unforeseeable event, and I would agree. However, in economic terms, this virus will likely translate to a 2-3 quarter demand shock (softeni…

100% agree. It is painful in the short-term but if we rescue these companies, they will continue to be reckless and will need more rescuing in the future.

I am sorry to say that I agree and, to be effective, capitalism needs to work much like natural selection. Weak companies (such as the airlines during the COVID-19 outbreak) need t…

I'm really glad this comment exists. Just because this article is written by 3 PhDs and posted by HBR doesn't mean it isn't complete nonsense. The comment by Michael O'Hare in the …
