Many of our ideas about the world are based more on feelings than facts, sensibilities than science, and rage than reality. We gravitate toward ideas that make us feel comfortable in areas such as religion, politics, philosophy, social justice, love and sex, humanity, and morality. We avoid ideas that make us feel uncomfortable. This avoidance is a largely unconscious process that affects our judgment and gets in the way of our ability to reach rational and reasonable conclusions. By understanding how our mind works in this area, we can start embracing uncomfortable ideas and be better informed, be more understanding of others, and make better decisions in all areas of life.

I see no fallacies because I see no argument. These are just a series of claims. As for the flaws, this would require domain-specific knowledge on the topic (which I don't have). |

There are so many assertions that are so poorly phrased that it would take a book to state them clearly and then drill down to discard flawed premises and identify the decent premises. Something the MMT guru Krugman has never done. Your cite to Mercatus shows me that it does not grasp the fundamentals of the issue. If one desires to understand why MMT is not correct, one of the best books is by von Mises in 1912, "The Theory of Money and Credit." Although a hundred years before MMT became a household word, von Mises showed MMT is a flawed theory and would lead to financial collapse. Since then, history in several countries, the most recent of which is Venezuela, has born out his analysis. |
