RE: What Economists Don’t Want You to Know, and How Steemit and Cryptocurrencies Prove Them Wrong

in #steemit8 years ago

So, please forgive any potential crudeness, but isn't your point that we shouldn't trust experts? If so, why should we then trust this one?

...leading Economist who consulted for the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank, the European Investment Bank, Oxfam and various United Nations agencies...

and this one...

Professor of Economics at New York University who specializes in economic development and who wrote The Tyranny of Experts: Economists, Dictators, and the Forgotten Rights of the Poor.

Why point out that these two people are experts in an attempt to persuade us from believing in experts? If Dr. Easterly's book successfully proves that all experts are tyrants, why should we trust that he isn't tyrannical himself?

It seem you are on to something here, but your methodology may contradict the very point you are trying to make.
