Comment on A Friday evening Beer and Economics speech by Prof.Caplin by A&R Small Business Economic Specialists

A&R Small Business Economic Specialists — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 04:51:28 +0000

Hello, we are an economic consulting firm that focuses in helping small businesses. We just came across your blog post and we must say that your are right. The real world is much more complex than the classroom and mainstream economics stands on way too many assumptions that, for the lack of a better term, oversimplify the real world.

Comment on Dr.Swamy and Freedom of Speech by Aditya Kuvalekar

Vivek, thanks for the comment.
Your point about the compulsion of listening to others is very important in my opinion. It is true that most noise on the internet comes from people who don’t listen to others and only yell. That’s probably the reason why we have such a low IQ of public discourse on the net.

Comment on Dr.Swamy and Freedom of Speech by vivek

I think all newspaper articles which are not news should be peer reviewed, just like what we have for science journals :P. On a serious note, what we need is a culture and platform for debate, good debate I mean. For the speakers who shout for freedom-of-speech, I suggest there should be a law of compulsion-of-listening-to-others too. The worst penalty I can think for Swamy is to send him to a most peaceful-only-Muslims- village in a remote corner of India for a month or two. On a personal note I won’t mind sending him to Pakistan (erstwhile a part of Hindustan) too.

Indeed Atanu. The state of affairs must be fixed. It’s quite heartening to see your blog. More and more people should read it.
