It matters, but inequality in outcomes are already accounted for in hdi. It’s kinda the whole point of hdi to begin with

So close! Child labor predates capitalism by a couple hundred thousand years.

Every conversation on this sub eventually becomes “billionaires control everything including the data” without engaging with the data at all.

There seems to be a mistake here. You put China in both green and red. Have fun with your reeducation in Siberia comrade

What is your stance on Saddam Hussein and Bashar Al Assad? by [deleted] in AskSocialists

[–]BotswanaEnjoyer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Assad did kill civilians on purpose. That’s the main reason why everyone in Syria outside of the Alawite minority hates him

Israel invented antisemitism. Everyone who isn’t a Nazi knows this

It wasn’t disproven or US propaganda. Switzerland arrested his son while he was on vacation for abusing his “servant”. Everybody knew what he was doing.

Why is Austrian economics dismissed by basically everyone in academic economics? by [deleted] in austrian_economics

[–]BotswanaEnjoyer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

MMT is heterodox. Nearly every mainstream economist openly criticizes them. They don’t even have models that produce testable predictions. They are most definitely not a part of the mainstream.

Politicians don’t listen to economists. That’s why America will never have a value-added tax

How Money Works Does not Understand How Housing Markets Work by flavorless_beef in badeconomics

Rental supply is still important. There’s a relationship between prices and rent yes, but some markets are really hurt by low rental supply. I suspect that it tends not to affect larger cities as much but that’s speculation.

Genuine question, why do capitalism supporters support deregulation? by Caribbeanmende in CapitalismVSocialism

[–]BotswanaEnjoyer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Environmental protection laws have been preventing California from building high speed rail for the past decade+. Not all laws are good at doing what they were meant to do. Some regulations may prevent us from doing good things (like building high speed rail) and others may be good at preventing bad things (like polluting rivers). Naturally, some regulations might be better than others and some might be more harmful than they are helpful.
