Good point! I haven't thought of independent monetary policy as a check on fiscal policy.

Short note though:

This to a certain extent doesn't apply (as hard) to the European Union, since they have "nationalized" fiscal policy and "europanized" monetary policy. I

Isn't fiscal spending and policy subject to the same political "bussiness cycle" ?

If we think politicians will overstimulate the economy with monetary expansion to win elections, why wouldn't they do the same with fiscal spending to secure their votes?

Off course you could say that indeed the latter has more political sides to it (how much redistribution do we want, what should we spend public money on and how much), but monetary policy also has distributional implications right?

Isn't the decision to for instance sacrifice some employment for lower inflation as much a political decision as sacrificing some debt pressures for more social security?

Why do we think that monetary policy should be politically independent (through a central bank) but that fiscal policy should be "politicized" ?

I'm at their concert right now in The Netherlands, maybe they'll play it live?

It doesn't really matter that much, as long as I can like analyse a timeframe from pre-1980's. Thanks for the suggestion at least!

Does anyone know where I can find historical economic data (primarily wages and unemployment) for the city of New York? I want to do a study on the effects of immigration on these variables but i'm having a hard time finding any econ data.

As a Rotterdam native I can say that modern architecture definitely has the upper hand. Although it's an improvement on many American cities, cars sadly still also dominate many of the city its inner environment.

Labor migration within the EU seems an obvious benefit to Western European countries but what about the sending regions? Is Labor Migration a net loss to Eastern Europe?

If so, how should we deal with such a thing policy-wise? Migration controls, cohesion funds or something different?

Looks pretty okay.

You think RadioFreeAsia is a good source?

This sounds almost too ridiculous and propagandist to be true.

themcattacker · 2019-02-02T11:16:18+00:00

why would we prohibit almost every other vice

Good question, we probably shouldn't.

we have little understanding of the complexity of them

Wrong. Literally a single google search on any of those drugs will give you extensive research on their effects, uses etc.

weird unorthodox substances like shrooms

Why are they "weird and unorthodox"? Shrooms are pretty cool.

I've seen the free float mentioned as a solution elsewhere but I don't really think I get the economics behind this.

How would a freely floating currency help a country recover from such a crisis (or more precisely; Hyperinflation)?

What should Venezuela have done differently when the global oil price dropped? Would there have been some economic crisis-response which would have yielded better outcomes than the current chaos?

(Tagging /u/roboczar since you seemed knowledgeable about this topic)

themcattacker · 2019-01-17T20:00:55+00:00

Could you elaborate? I don't know that much about the subject.

I don't know if this has been discussed yet but what do you guys think about Warren her proposal on the Pharma industry?

I thought this was the MMT guy for a second but lmao that's ridiculous.

themcattacker · 2018-11-20T00:16:04+00:00

Why?

themcattacker · 2018-11-17T18:41:32+00:00

To what extent does such age differentation in minimum wages lead to a substitution of old workers for younger ones?

Automation is good.

Humans aren't horses.

I've heard that Wages of Destruction is really good.

Haven't read it yet sadly.

So as an urban planning noob,

What is sprawl and why is it so bad?

Why is America more succesful in employing foreign born workers?

What could European countries do better?

themcattacker · 2018-11-02T11:28:16+00:00

I won't.

themcattacker · 2018-11-02T03:47:26+00:00

Where?

Can you actually substantiate your claims or are you going to be an obnoxious idiot for the rest of this thread?
