One, the language.
Two, the moment he said money was originally a creation of the state for the purposes of taxation, I knew he hasn't done his homework.
#NSFW
To be fair, it was propably the MMT-er nonsense that made me pull the plug.
The language just made it easier.
Agreed with the initial IP opinions, but once the money statement was made, yeah, hard to trust the foundations they were building on.
It was a challenging conversation. I meant what I said: I'd love to see him in a debate with Saif.
Also, I hope I'm not coming off with a vibe that I stopped listening because I simply disagreed.
Roberts on EconTalk Interviews folks I disagree with quite a bit, and some of the conversations I really enjoy.
But Russ will push them a little. Respectfully, but still challenges them when necessary.
But that money comment was rewritten history and is so verifiably false.
Combine that with the non-stop language and what sounded like a ton of hyperbole and exaggeration, I had to move on 😜
On to the next one! 😁
I didn't take it that way at all, but thanks for clarifying. Time is precious. We have to spend it where it matters most. On to the next one!
