his analysis on past trends is almost entirely correct
his one-sector model is too simple and she would probably go into more detail and try and break down why exactly you can get this type of divergence. she thinks examination of rent-seeking behaviour of bodies with lots of capital is relevant etc
they both said they didnt want to judge his argument about the future because 2uncertain2tel

The use of ancient quotations came up several times. I complained a bit about Eggertsson and Mehrotra's long efforts to tie their work to quotes from verbal speculations of Keynes, Alvin Hansen, Paul Krugman and Larry Summers. Their rhetorical device is, "aha, these equations finally explain what some sage of 80 years ago or Important Person today really meant." Ivan Werning really complained about this in Paul Beaudry's presentation. What does this complex piece of well worked out "21st century economics" have to do with long ago muddy debates between Keynes and Hayek? It stands on its own, or it doesn't...
Physics does not write papers about "the Newton-Aristotle debate." Our papers should stand on their own too. They are right or wrong if they are logically coherent and describe the data, not if they fulfill the vague speculations of some sage, dead or alive...
Sure, history of thought is important; tying ideas to their historical predecessors is important; recognizing the centuries of thinking on money and business cycles is important. But let's stand up for our own generation; we do not exist simply to finally put equations in the mouths of ancient economists...
tbf there were a thousand papers trying to vindicate einstein's cosmological constant and a thousand more likening some field theories revolving around the higgs boson to the subluminous ether.
otoh it's true that these were kind of regarded as historical oddities and not really vindication of an authoritative sage.

ok so prity mainstream eh. no support for the FT's rather weak attack on the data
that flavour of attack smells of a polite way to say "we think your model is completely wrong, or at least missing the phenomenon it purports to explain". which, to be fair, seems to be the case

drama all day around here on the radio
jeter's last all star game blah blah blah. will he deliver? he's super old, doesn't really belong in this game except that he's retiring and baseball is sentimental
oh great diving stop in the first inning, just missed the out.
I got home and consulted my archive (a shoebox of old comics I kept in middle school but never threw away) and, yes, Wonder Woman did indeed hold Thor's hammer. She also lost a fight to a gigantic-boobed Storm.

I gave hiring tips to a friend some time ago, after he mentioned that he had trouble hiring peeps.
Now he is all hiring peeps and preparing his interviews prior to interviewing.
i am so proud that i helped and that he applied my tips and didn't just wing it again.

@Irond Will
the hard sciences do like the narrative of "it turns out X was unfairly treated by his contemporaries and was proven to be right later on after all"
and you can find quite ferocious essays over gould or multilevel selection and such. in fact i think those are most similar
economics is unusually enthusiastic about circling a scholasticist drain though
