While I respect your personal opinion, "harsh" seems like a rather<br>
relative dismissal. I've done my best to do my homework. Those who refuse<br>
that basic commitment and yet continue to use persuasive rhetoric and<br>
either actively misrepresent facts or rely on persuasion rather than<br>
analysis which can be addressed as part of an open scientific discourse, I<br>
really don't have much patience for.<br>
<br>
I have involved with cooperatives, primarily food based, for a long time.<br>
One of the dark side aspects of cooperative particularly when they are<br>
less than mature as community, is that they tend to have an open door to<br>
fraud of multiple types. This perhaps this means that I was never fully<br>
socialized, maybe. I believe strongly in acknowledging both the dark and<br>
light, and the difference between appearances and substance, as aspects of<br>
most human endeavors. In struggling to promote economic literacy, and it<br>
has been a struggle, I have to acknowledge the commitment or lack of it to<br>
an open discourse, transparency, accountability, and all that. The process<br>
of what I call inverted induction begins with certain conclusions, and<br>
then sets out to find ways of making that "conclusion" seem plausible. In<br>
large part pop-economics is an abandoned zone, imo, because it promotes<br>
confusion, as honest and well intentioned as its boosters may or may not<br>
be.<br>
<br>
As to the intentions of the writers in this genera, I will look at the<br>
evidence provided and their conclusions. To the extent that a peer review<br>
has been evaded or misrepresented I am likely to challenge the content. I<br>
suppose that is one definition of harsh, I prefer higher standards than<br>
most perhaps.<br>
<br>
On the side I have been exchanging with Stephanie Kelton and she shared<br>
with me a narrative essentially how MMT is becoming "mainstream" in a<br>
sense. I 've asked her if I can share it by way of demonstrating the<br>
non-cultish nature of MMT/FF. I expect to receive her approval shortly.<br>
<br>
As to posting my reviews, aah shucks, now you are going to make me self<br>
conscious (maybe).<br>
