It got rave reviews when published 15 years ago. But it had no effect on the march of integrationism, and seems to have been forgotten now, even though the criticisms are more valid than ever.Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10016748298615461581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6245381193993153721.post-30038618697270325752016-05-16T06:35:45.450-07:002016-05-16T06:35:45.450-07:00Btw lk when you will finally start a section debun...Btw lk when you will finally start a section debunking neoclassical 101?<br /><br />After austrians and marxians i guess you should deal with the arch nemesis dont you think?disequilibriumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09760922141392402211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6245381193993153721.post-76667414643062367172016-05-15T08:43:21.219-07:002016-05-15T08:43:21.219-07:00Good, I had pretty much the same Critique about th...Good, I had pretty much the same Critique about the Brexit movie in my mind.<br /><br />there is one more thing about the EU that is more unvisible. Since there are strong federalist forces in every member state parliament, the local politicians feel that they are in a comfort zone, they don't have to answer to their people and they don't have to solve the problems, E will do all that. A good example was when first messages about the refugees arrived. The talk was not about if we wanted to help the people but it was: if we donõt want to get the refugees, we have to leave the EU. It has been the same about austerity policies and mass unemployment, if we don't want to do it, then we have to leave the EU, that will be really bad for the economy, Russia might attack us etc. So not only are the EU politicians unaccountable, this set up makes the local politicians unaccountable in a certain way: we cannot do It. The ones who can are fear mongerers, isolationists, nationalists etc. Kristjanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09592440548093816331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6245381193993153721.post-52478858887772792782016-05-15T07:32:09.032-07:002016-05-15T07:32:09.032-07:00Thanks for this excellent post - I particularly li...Thanks for this excellent post - I particularly like the succinct 6-point description of the central problems of the EU and its thoroughly undemocratic nature.<br /><br />May I draw your attention to a typo — there may be efforts at "SIMULATIVE Keynesian economic policy" in the EU, but you are right, there certainly is "an effective ban on effective STIMULATIVE Keynesian economic policy in many countries of the Eurozone.<br /><br />Feel free not to publish this reminder, or cut out the part pointing to the typo.I.G.T.U.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06784644145252848815noreply@blogger.com
