Berke Negri posted:its embarassing how bad in general d&d is on economics that the most economics focused threads you'd get would be the eurodoom ones but mostly those guys aren't exactly working with a full economic toolbox when it comes to analysis see GC or whoever it was that would often try to do back of the napkin arithmetic to demonstrate gdp growth in greece by cutting just enough pensions like macro is a game of civilization and you just need to fiddle with the sliders on the menu If you think economics is bunk you need to know enough economics to show that it's bunk and quelle surprise people who lol at economists don't do that Frankly I don't know much about economics but I do know enough to know that I don't know anything about it and don't bother with it except to yell at people who make gross conceptual errors

Ghost of Reagan Past posted:It's in fact now common when discussing the ethics of sweatshops (at a high level, mind, not your student activists, who I think do good work) to accept that the economic gains are real, but that there are strong moral arguments against treating workers poorly, partly because given the situation of sweatshop labor it's exploitative (it's wrong to offer a choice between something bad and something terrible when you could offer better choices, or so the argument goes). It's weak but he's right that lovely working conditions is better than starving to death in a famine, but one would hope in the modern, globalised world where information can travel near-instantly we wouldn't face such issues because of humanitarian intervention hang on sorry wait I just noticed India never mind
