No, but another prominent Jew in econ/finance is looking to BS the rest of the world all in the name of his personal greed to maximize media attention to his consulting practice. The list of such individuals is never ending and despite the almost ignorably small number of Jews as percentage of verious countries' populations one ethnic group stands out that preaches falsehood and deceit in economics or as practitioners in financial services. Goldman (a huge majority of their partners are Jewish) is on the front pages every single week due to another revaluation of how they extorted money from countries and entities in return for unethical or outright illegal advise. The empirical evidence is just too obvious to ignore and say that Jews in leading political and financial or academic positions do not constantly abuse their positions to enrich their personal pockets. But maybe you can point to a few Jews in our times that embarked on a selfless lifestyle and make this world a little better place to provide some counter examples. I do not know of too many. Ps the idiot Joseph Stiglitz stands out as well. He has been publicly cut down by a prominent hedge fund manager for preaching utter nonsense. Stiglitz was paid by Spain for "consulting services". Every penny of that was completely wasted.
T-minus 4 posts until Godwin's law is validated. Full disclosure: in general, I do also see a trend with various Jewish dominated organizations, finance, and deceit that quite simply isn't ignorable as "coincidence" - and I even have friends who are Jewish. It's not a "racist" (it's not a race anyway) thing either but appears to be a certain cultural affliction/approach to things that alienates/pisses off others. Not recognizing this trend means you're either a liar or blind/naïve. That being said, I don't disagree with *everything* Krugman says. Not all his opinions are bogus.
neither do I disagree with everything Krugman says. His works that lead to the highest award in Economics to be given to him is brilliant work. But his breathing down the neck on those who promote long-lasting solutions rather than just pouring more oil into the fire is becoming quite frankly annoying. And even more annoying is that he gets a media platform each time he makes another outlandish claim. [for others reading this: I know what is coming now: The long-lasting solution Krugman promotes debt forgiveness as it would be a long-lasting solution for the Greeks. Well, think again, how long lasting it is to the Germans, Dutch, Finns, Baltic people, East Europeans,...And how long-lasting is it gonna be when socialists discover that there are freebies with 9 zeros attached to it given out?]
Has nothing to do with godwins law, one would have thought the children and grandchildren of nazis after having their country smashed to peices twice would have bought their children up properly, without bias towards entire groups of people on the basis of their roots, evidently not.
Sheda, so if I'm not even German how does that make sense here? The fact that vp happens to be German is merely coincidental to his opinion.
He just happens to be german and just happens to hate jews..yea right. On a personal note I cant stand krugman, has nothing to do with him being a jew...
I have to agree for the most part as I have first hand experience working as a contractor for a really successful jewish company. 2 months into the gig, when I discovered the "other" contractors (hint - friends of the CFO, CTO) were making so much more money than I was, I complained to the owner/founder. First thing he said to me : "You sure you want me to make a stink about this...you could lose this daily income" (<$500). Here's a guy pulling down about $3000 per day and basically indicated that he thought I was doing really well there. Yeah, right...maybe compared to his call center people. Sheesh. One exception may be James Altucher....he seems to break the mold.
Jesus christ how insulated have you lot been from life? Try working in the building trade for a month. Such behaviour and worse is common place across humanity.
A small minority of people even before , during , and after WW2 were nazis. Certainly were my parents or grandparents none. If there are certain groups of people abusing each and every loophole and monopolize power and influence to fill their own pockets but socialize costs and risk then this issue should be addressed. Whether it is Jews, Germans or Greeks or hooligans from rural Britain.
