Economics is a study of whirlpools

..the dynamics of all the moving parts at once will always be subjective

..and the language used for any specific reference will always hinge on what that particular choice of words means to the originator and the receiver, at that point in time

Obviously it is impossible to divorce economics from political ideology as differing approaches to economic policy are in fact the the basis of most political schools of thought

Seems to me the best you can hope for is an accurate reading of historical facts, the empirical data, and a logical extension of where those may lead as informed by experience, and suggest possible policy initiatives that will lead to positive outcomes

I have no quarrel with your grasp of this stuff and appreciate your work

..got a soft spot for Krugman though

..he may not always use the best descriptions, but he is far and away the best known spokesman for abetting the unconscionable accumulation of wealth that is occurring in the US

..and I agree with his take that this phenomenon constitutes the most serious challenge to the economic well being of the US..
