A Nobel-Winning Economist Goes to Burning Man www.nytimes.com "“I think I have some of the same anxieties, but I’m coming to the view that it’s the market which is the danger, not the city,” Mr. Romer said. “I’m afraid economists have really been serious contributors to this problem. This whole ideology of ‘government is bad, government is the problem’ has I think provided cover for rich people and rich firms to take advantage of things for their selfish benefit.”" You really need to read the whole screed before forming an opinion, as it is quite wide ranging and hard to grasp in one scan. |

I seem to have missed that Firefox extension - NYT told me I had "reached the limit of free articles" (huh?). But the quote you provide resonates with my opinions (prejudices?). From Milton Friedman to David Seymour, I find the enthusiasm for the free market unconvincing, to say the least. |

| 1488143 | 2022-08-30 06:34:00 | Just delete the NYT cookies and try again. There's a special section in Firefox Tools/Settings/Privacy and Security/Cookies and Site Data/Manage Data/type "nyt" into the search then delete, to do just that. Here's the link to the extension: addons.mozilla.org This extension is slightly different from the one I have which doesn't seem to be available anymore, anyway deleting cookies should work. |
