Macroeconomics is all about how the government should fix the economy. If you believe in the free market then isn't your answer to every problem "let the free market fix it"?

judging from your first question and how you phrase to this post you might just be the kind of retard that no one actually wants to get into an in-depth discussion with. So that's always a possibility that you are just an absolute faggot.
Economists actually do things as in they have a job. They are paid to do work. No one in that field on either side believes what you think they do. No one can address your question here because your premise is flawed. You absolutely fucked nugget

That's a retarded reductionist argument. Conservative economists don't believe a "magic sky hand" can fix anything, they are saying that "magic sky hand" i.e less government intervention usually results in better overall economy than planned economy. They have the entirety of human history as proof that countries with central planning are always miserable behind countries that have market mechanisms.

3rd positionist economics is the superior option. nationalism and socialism, government controls markets and makes decisions on the behalf of normal people while working and negotiating with the capitalist class. ex (Give your workers more money and recreation area's or else we'll give your factory to someone who will)

Again that's only assuming the government gives a shit about workers and not how much money the plant will make for the state. China has in effect third position economy but they allow virtually slave labour conditions to maximise the bottomline. It all depends on the people in leadership and the culture of the country. Germans won't treat other Germans that way but bugmen will

Exactly! And that's why Austrian economics is marginalized even though it's the only paradigm that remotely makes sense. Economics academics have a vested interest in creating jobs for economists and academics, and giving politicians an excuse to piss away money is a great way to do it. There is a small market for right wing economists to cater to autists on the Internet and rich people in exchange for some talks and book sales here and there, but it's nowhere near as big.

Friedman and Rand are not ancaps they are classical liberal economists in the true sense of the word. Friedman's policies were successful in the 80s because the 70s were experiencing stagflation because of the economic policies of Nixon and Carter. Friedman's policies helped start a second economic boom and reverse the stagflation, however unfortunately they produced other unintended consequences such as free trade with countries like China destroying whole groups of people who became unemployed and depressed. Friedman has contribute a lot to economics and.in general is one dlodnthe few Jews I like. He himself was good at admitting his mistakes and always earned about unintended consequences. He wasn't immune from them either.

Maybe, though theoretically possible, it is in practical terms impossible to correct a pendulum dead by hitting it in exactly the right spot at exactly the right angle with an exact amount of force.

Maybe, because there are controlling and authoritarian psychopaths willing to be sold a lie that such a thing is actually achievable or desirable in order to justify their constant expansion of the halls of power to smooth brained socialists and promote the politically expedient lie that infinite gibs can be provided by borrowing (and subsequent debasement of currency to alleviate the mid term problems)

Maybe, we need a whole branch of modern economics to debunk this thinking and emphasize that mass decision making on an individual level, IE without central direction, will see self correcting bounces around the average line of activity without the knock on effects of heavy handed central intervention creating other problems which are completely unquantifiable and unknowable in detail but taken at a macro level transparently destructive.

What about the long run, Keynes?

That's why a strong dictator is required for it, voted in democratically. From there a council system should be set up along with a general populace vote. The dictator would have control over most sectors and have an overruling say, but would listen to various councils on economic/military decisions.

>> No.21346516

>>21346401
By planned I mean an economy where the government makes all the decisions, determines all the prices, and owns and operates all businesses and industry. "Mixed" in your context means a national socialst economy which has elements of planning bit it still largely market force driven

Economics is a bullshit science. There’s a reason why it’s not considered STEM. I changed my major from Econ to math/cs minored in Econ and never looked back.

Friedman was a stalinist, but otherwise yes. Government spending money has caused the wealth divide and retarded what otherwise could have been a healthy enduring economy.

On the other hand fiat being trash is so insanely bullish for crypto it will make us all disgustingly rich. ...and the stimulus pumps in the mean-time will juice our shitcoin gains making for daily entertainment.

Russia is an example of that. However there the problem is that the democratically elected dictator enriches himself and his Jewish oligarchs and doesn't give two fucks about the working people.

It's like being an onlooker to early modern medicine. You see the pointy beaks, the leeches, the mercury and lead. You see the surgeon sneezing into someone's open wounds, refusing to wash their hands as they deliver children and then you kill yourself because they're bullying you for suggesting they wash their hands.

You're wrong there, any central leader(king, dictator etc) will fail due to having limited information available. Representative democracy fails because of this as well. When the amount of people making the decision drops, the amount of information drops and then you get the commie problems of producing the wrong things etc. because the market is not there to guide the producers to consumer demand. The market works so well because the prices are determined by everyone involved and not a central figure

Interest rates are set for political reasons. If the interest rates are lower than the "natural interest rate" it causes overspending and malinvestment, which causes the economy tank eventually. Because economy can only go up, voted officials will do anything to keep their votes and drop the interest rates further which begins the cycle anew. We have now arrived at the end game of this cycle with interest rates having been around zero for a decade in Europe with a very poor recovery from the last bust.

There could still be democratic aspects, the dictator would just have the overuling say-so. So different groups performing different functions could have democratic ways of doing things (Boards and committees). Just if anything went against the leaders wishes, he could do something. and if the leader does something bad, the people could apply pressure on the leader or the military could. It's a better system of responsibility to the people rather than faceless bureaucrats having the ultimate say-so.

that being said i belive that some basic shit should be in the hands of state even if its economicaly negative

public transport
healthcare
school
army

firefighter
should be in the hand of the state
but everything else should be private
my problem with modern leftists are not in the economic sense
it is the support for degeneracy and the whole anti western sentiment

they also support lot of crazy policies that contradict
for exampe they crying about wages and that healt care is not public but they also want open borders shit like this making me think that these people are either economicaly retarted or evil who do not give actualy shit about the lower class people

I see what you mean, you want accountability. This is something that is seriously lacking in our current version of representative democracy. Democracy also ironically has the downside of lack of information I mentioned, normal streetwalker won't have an educated opinion on political or economic issues but they still are allowed to vote.

DESU I think the best way would be to have voting as a voluntary thing, you could remove your right to vote but if you wanted to vote you MUST vote on all subjects. Maybe have a simple test of sorts to enable your right to vote on economics for example.
