King of the Ghouls

Larry's been the ghoul-on-in-the-inside for decades, cosplaying as a center-lefty when he's been behind practically every disastrous right wing position in his entire career. Lots of the "good" economists have stayed quiet, for who knows what reason, which is why my list of "good economists" kept shrinking.

.@LHSummers is supportive of @POTUS’s competition agenda but scoffs at non-serious non-economists who suggest antitrust is relevant to combating rising prices.

Larry's at the pretending not to understand things phase of his career, because he's got nothing else, but everybody else doesn't have to pretend to not see what he's doing.

Arguing with Larry Summers on this is like arguing with Bozo the Clown, but for what it's worth you only need to see market power in one area of the economy to have it show up economy-wide in inflation: the logistics industry. https://t.co/WqF9LX3OKv

Orszag, another ghoul.

Curious are you with Larry now or Larry five months ago? https://t.co/GkGIrS61j8

Come for your man, Larry's friends. You should have come for him decades ago instead of swatting his critics.
