I've long said that economists aren't as bad as some people think, but the public face of economics is absolutely horrendous and part of the reason for that is not enough economists, like Gray, call their colleagues (appropriately) ghouls.Typical Philipson column: after he misapplies average inflation measures, he makes his usual claims (without evidence) that Trump somehow caused an economic boom and that Biden is waging an "explicit war on capital," presumably at least in part by sending cash to parents. pic.twitter.com/PSbmAJSy3t
