The Rubin defender?

Dude, do you read these people?

Sawicky definitely. And Stiglitz is the leading economist in that school.

And? They also do not deny what was written.

they argue for other reasons, the optimal efficient trade policy is not the right one.

See, you never got my point.

The point here is let's move past the ignorqance on trade and discuss the REAL reasons why you oppose free trade.

Some people have good ones worth discussing.

You decded to cite Krugman and Blinder. Silly of you.

You cited blinder with an old reference, I brought you up to date on the current state of Blinder, and even though it's clear that many people now understand he is not the free trader he once was (which was my point) you have to force his newer views into your old frame of reference.

But more astonishingly, this is just like the iq/race thread.  I tell you, complete with links, exactly why I have come to the conclusion I have come to, and you still stand there and say project some agenda of your own on me.

Last time, I was a racist, and so was everyone else who thought the various questions weren't settled yet and worth looking into, regardless of any of their statements or behavior.

This time, you have me, contra to any post I have made, into still not willing to tell you my real reasons.

I've given you everything you've refused to give me, my reading list, my "credentials", citations, my experience, and you don't like that you can't force me into your neat little boxes so you refuse to believe what I have written.

So let's see the score:

Blinder, you believe although everyone else tells you different, and even reading his article should tell you different.

The fair traders you don't believe, though their rhetoric and behavior matches their statements.

Me, who you can actually engage in a conversation with, you don't believe.

Stop playing e-psychiatrist BTD, you're not very good at it, and it's a disingenuous way to argue.
