Our readingWhat is a korrent?
Drawn from what Noah Smith said
economists The economists themselves and the schools they founded -- Smith, Mill, Keynes, Hayek, Friedman -- rather than any one economic question.
The counterargument here — which I made in 2020 and which a number of economists made in response to JFV’s post — is that it’s better to study something knowable than to study something unknowable, even if the knowable things are less important.
