204 sats \ 2 replies \ @jeff 10 Jan \ on: Three Economic Myths to Put To Rest This Year econ
<meta>
I opened this post shortly after it was posted, skimmed the myths, and thought to myself "#2 and #3 aren't myths to me, but I can see how some people might think they are". I didn't read/need to click through.
But then I noticed the zaps were forwarded.
Circled back, and read the article.
@scottathan effectively cc'd me on an article I wouldn't have read independently, but then influenced me into reading it, because I was wondering to myself "why did he forward these zaps?"

Interesting.

I would like to see the unbiased/non-faulty data surrounding #1.

I forwarded the sats since I figured since I've been wanting an econ territory for so long and you were willing to put up the sats for it, I might as well contribute some of my earnings to help you pay for ~econ.

I'm not an expert on the literature, but I suspect Cato is referencing here some of their recent research on how income inequality changes when you use a wider variety of sources and account for welfare and transfer payments.
