I realize that authority doesn't make a person inherently correct, but choosing Sowell over you is not a difficult choice. Again, not because he is infallible, but because you are not giving any credible evidence to support your claims. You rely on a bunch of thought experiments that always perfectly line up with the position you're defending. You're operating in the ether, while Sowell is a master of acute comparisons. All of this is moot, since I don't remember anyone using Sowell in this argument. Dude, I have looked through this thread 3 times, and I can't find an article you linked.

I am not sure who has the better theories, but I have seen Krugman and Reich be repeatedly wrong about many of their predictions. Sowell, on the other hand, makes sense to me because he is not predicting as much as he is analyzing. Maybe you could post some examples of him making terrible economic predictions. |
