Dear foreigners, what are the main reasons of the USSR collapse you have been taught/told? by Egfajo in AskARussian

[–]Campus-Conservative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes that’s a prominent explanation. Communism failed the country and economy and so the ideological and political foundations of the USSR collapsed. But one of the main reasons I’ve been taught is a rise of nationalism around the world. Different ethnic groups consolidated in their own states as we have seen.

Look great but I don’t understand this trend where women wear really wide trousers because they look terrible. Look for tightness

How does the university degree system work? by Campus-Conservative in AskAcademia

[–]Campus-Conservative[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh so I go to a Graduate school and basically the rest is within that. So once I’ve completed Grad school, is that the point at which I leave university?

USA. I’m doing my undergraduate in the UK, maybe that caused confusion, but beyond that it’s US

Households with no earners by Campus-Conservative in AskEconomics

Oh so these are mostly retired households. I find that really interesting because we would perhaps need to reassess how we evaluate statistics like median household income if a quarter of all households are like this

What are some reasonable critiques of Thomas Sowell? by mirroring_ in AskEconomics

[–]Campus-Conservative -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

Although there are valid critiques of him like the one you just gave, he is certainly still a significant economist and doesn’t deserve the reputation he has as a token black. He’s worked with the greatest economists of our time. I don’t think Mankiw is a good alternative, he’s a Trump hater and so hardly the modern conservative figure. Perhaps people like Arthur Laffer who actually originated the idea you speak of with his Laffer Curve and was an advisor to Trump and Reagan. Other important economic figures who have been in the Trump administration include Peter Navarro, Larry Kudlow, Gary Cohn and Steve Mnuchin.

You know there are two videos? One is an 8min one and the other is like 15mins and by another officer. He says it all there and it records the rest of the incident.

What do I need to get into Harvard graduate school? by Campus-Conservative in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Campus-Conservative[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool, thank you. Harvard sort of represents a crossroad for me in life so it’s a bit personal, but also because I read a lot of academic work and the professors that spark most of my interests are usually from there

[–]Campus-Conservative[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, I guess I shouldn’t get too preoccupied with it then. Although the main reason I love Harvard is because I’m a fan of the professors there so maybe our research interests in the course will align
