We are back for some fun in the Econ territory!!
This time can stackers guess who is @denlillaapan favorite economist?This time can stackers guess who is @denlillaapan favorite economist?
Last week we learned @Undisciplined favorite economist was Bob Murphy! Rather quickly I may add.
Who is that? Check out this video to learn.
Who will dennli’s?
Guess in the comments and @denlillaapan will confirm the correct answer and I will pay out the bounty!
HAPPY GUESSING!
15,000 sats bounty
Im assuming that if it's none of the well known ones, that you were actually thinking of one of the journalists that write the broadsheet articles you often feature
lol! No, journos wouldn't count!
Ludwig von Mises:
Or the Swedish economist who was essentially promoting Adam Smith's ideas at the same time, despite not knowing each other. But I've forgotten his name. @denlillaapan knows who I mean, I hope.
Anders Chydenius* — but no, nice try!
Dang. That’s whose name I was going to look up
Fun!
Paul Samuelson
This will be more interesting than mine
I don't see an Undisc guess??
No one I've thought of feels right
Clue: some of the names on the list have definitely been featured in my stacker posts
Hmm
What's the deal, we keep guessing until they hit one of the top 3, or we call it a day and split between the few guesses that were at least on the list?
It’s up to you! Once someone has the correct guess just @ me and I’ll pay it
Emil Kalinowski?
Whoo?
Hahaha famous for the silent depression idea with Jeff Snyder
Alright, my first guess is that you have the same favorite as Bob Murphy, because he's the foundational Austrian money guy:
Eugen Bohm-Bawerk
Aaah, you guys are way too sophisticated (or perhaps I interpreted the question wrong...)
Just a first guess. I suspect it's a monetary historian but I don't know them as well.
Perry Mehrling
Cleeever. I went over to my bookshelf to have a look and two of his books were there so I put him on the shortlist!
AMAAAAZING friends!
Pretty boring/obvious guesses so for. I'm actually not too sure, so jotted down names before I looked at the answers. We've gotten two of the names on that list but not the two I underlined and the one I finally circled.
Maybe this was too hard/in the weeds?
Also, yous gotta beat Chat:
Josh Hendrickson?
Arthur Laffer
Robert Reich
;)
Ludwig von Mises
Saifedean Ammous
Pretty sure not this
Paul Krugman
DARN! He got me
LOLL
John Clarke
Naturally ;)
Adam Smith
Imma go with Hayek
Yea, she's pretty hot.
Lyn Alden
Thomas Sowell?
HHH
...so to speak
Carl Menger
Israel Kirzner
Ludwig von Mises
Not sure about economists, but I now know his favourite historian is Sven Beckert :D
oh, fuck that
Frédéric Bastiat
Milton Friedman
I guess not Adam Smith?
Cantillon
Good, clever guess. But too early to be really even called "economist" and too narrow/not comprehensive enough
Murray Rothbard
Anne Goldgar
Ludwig Lachmann
