家园 感谢理性探讨。

你说的灿舌莲花,少长见识问题,我倒是有点看法。

不光是西西河,也不光是中文媒体范畴,就是在英语世界里,互联网之外的报纸书籍等更严肃的传统媒体,所谓经济学也是最容易出专家的地方。随手举几个例子,一两年前特别火的Freakonomics,带着经济学的书名,里面的东西也有些见解,可是谁要是认真读完书,掩卷自问,这是经济学?实用统计学? 学者生活观察随笔?贴什么标签都可以。

例子之二,美女政客佩林前不久向美联储伯南克发难,

Sarah Palin waded into monetary policy Monday, lashing out at Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and urging him to "cease and desist" his attempt to jumpstart the economic recovery by committing to buy up to $900 billion in U.S. government debt.

In prepared remarks to be delivered to a trade association in Phoenix, the former Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate said she is "deeply concerned" with the Fed's plan, announced last week, arguing that the nation's central bank would be "printing [money] out of thin air" and that it is "far from certain" to "even work." The argument was unusual in that monetary policy is supposed to be immune to political pressure.

佩林是什么人,她的智商如何大家都知道,经济专家的门槛有多高大家可想而知。

第三个例子,近两年的炸药奖经济学得主。纽约时报的评论员克鲁曼,整个一自由左棍,经济观点就是跟中国大打贸易战,大大地打,现在就打。前几年另一得主孟加拉做micro-loan的家伙,现在破产倒闭正在法庭上面对经济欺诈的控诉。

经济范畴的东西,就事论事就是最好。比方说最近王立军食品安全提案的事,意义很大,谁要是想深度评论发挥,可以写出洋洋洒洒一大筐,问题是有那个必要么?与别处网站相比,西河的朋友应该是成熟很多,类似的事情自己会有判断,不需要别人建立起个理论体系,然后再挑合适的事实往里装。

通宝推:侯登科,fumachu,
