Of course I prefer the Keynesian, but no school of thought is complete. Past schools tend to be developed from past experiences, and often miss new developments.

The above posts happens to stand as one of the most thorough destructions of an "intellectual" position I've ever seen here on AF.

I have nothing to add to that, but I will comment that opebo's desire to see the poor violently "rise up" against their masters, strikes me as yet another manifestation of his to see poor people, the rest of humanity, really, to destroy themselves en masse for the sake of his own amusement.

Here ag is in his own domain. Well, not quite, but close enough to it. As for opebo, for anyone who has been on the forum as long as any those that participated in this thread, should have learned not to take opebo seriously a long, long time ago.

His politics are caricatures **, but his economics are taken quite seriously here. If it takes a professional to point out the Unsinn of his arguments, even if just casually, then more power to the professor.

**of an indwelling inhumanity, imho

Well, the professor has accused him of having dishonest politics, and the proof has been "I believe myself to be on solid ground." Basically, this discussion is like a paper (about individual psychology more than an intellectual position) with a lot of references in the back, except the references all exist in other posters' heads. I've engaged with opebo quite a bit on this board, but don't get what is being referred to. His 'economics' seem to consist of nothing but caricatured polemics that are closely tied, if not identical, to his politics. Can you provide some example of opebo's rich-favoring, serious economics?
