O problema é que o brasileiro acabou de descobrir Karl Marx e Adam Smith e a gente já quer discutir Cochrane.

the entire leftoid discourse is only about language, once you notice it, you see it everywhere. they think categorizing sevices from "luxury" to "essential" eliminates real world constraints via magical govt subsidies and regoolations.
Why should air travel be a luxury in a country as large as india. Y'all are capitalists without the capital lol

Seria uma ironia histórica o cara que ajudou a criar o real destruir o mesmo no governo do presidente que era contra a criação do plano originalmente

MMT é o Fernando Diniz das teorias econômicas. Adoraria ver no time dos outros e com muita margem pra risco, mas pro meu time no momento eu quero é o arroz com feijão pra escapar do rebaixamento.

Você é economista do bem (Micro) ou do mal (Macro)?
Nó, muito mais gostoso estudar micro do que macro

The problem with @GarettJones's proposal for 10% less democracy is that it doesn't go far enough.
Vote buying (Brazil edition): "He announced a 15% increase in monthly welfare payments, loan forgiveness and a cash transfer of around $1,000 for micro-enterprises, and free bus rides for all. The price tag for Lula’s re-election handouts over the past year is estimated near $60 billion, or more than 2% of gross domestic product."

Una pregunta interesante es: ¿ayudó la inmensa política industrial de SK a mejorar la producción en sectores clave como la industria pesada? Sí. La siguiente pregunta es: ¿y eso sirvió para mejorar la economía? Respuesta corta: no. Respuesta larga: jajajajajajaja. no.

(it's the gold standard)
I explain inflation through demand-pull, conflict theory, cost-push mechanisms, structural bottlenecks, markup pricing, and endogenous feedback dynamics. MV=PY is an accounting identity with no independent explanatory power.

Uma virtude que o FHC tinha é de não acreditar no empresário nacional.

We are in the final stage of capitalism where global capital can’t expand or sustain past profits. It now consumes public institutions and key systems, sacrificing democracy, welfare, infrastructure, education, healthcare, and ecosystems for short-term gain.

Yes. In Capitalism, the only way you can make yourself better off is by *first* serving others. When buying a $10 drink, the owner is effectively asking ‘what good have you done for your fellow man?’ ‘Mowed his lawn’ ‘Prove it!’ You hand over the $20. Money is proof of work.
The ideological belief here is that profit-seeking naturally translates into social good.
