Aristotle had a robot thousands of years before that. Marx and Krugman are cavemen banging bones together and pretending it's music.
But no, he was correct - he'd spotted a basic error in the spreadsheet. The Harvard professors had accidentally only included 15 of the 20 countries under analysis in their key calculation (of average GDP growth in countries with high public debt).

You're citing an article written by a liberal economist. This kind of incrementalism-of-the-deed is killing the Left.

they....they fucked with Debt
mustang19 posted:Debt is only possible under a liberal system where all forms of rent and interest have not been abolished. You will never see that in the economic study you posted.
yep hunter-gatherers didn't have much in the way of debt

They do some other disingenuous stuff in that paper but the excel error might actually be accidental. Like 30% of journal articles in economics have major errors because the peer review and publishing system is awful and no one wants to put in the effort to actually check proofs, replicate results, evaluate code, etc.
Academic economics are still less of a joke than the blogs, as easily manipulated as it is. At least you can do a meta-review and detect the bias.
Unless there's only one study ever on a critically important topic because everyone is focused on accumulating more and more foreign aid and trade openness studies.
