MAGA folk reassure themselves that the stock market plunge doesn’t matter and the “real” economy is doing just fine, undisturbed by the looming trade war.
Hmmm. We seem to be getting a bit personal in these comments. I don't think it is a good thing to implicitly accuse me of using George as Biden was used, or accuse George of pretending to capabilities he no longer possesses, as Biden did. Those were quite wicked things to do and have rightly left Biden and his handlers in disgrace.
I assume that if you had counted to 10, you would not have made that comparison.
George's mother, a friend of mine, lived to 102. It's a very long-lived family.
Richard Vigilante is, by his LinkedIn bio, “a communicator, innovator, and strategist.”
George Gilder is, according to Wikipedia, an “investor, author, and economist.” Exactly how he came to be an economist is obscure. His degree isn’t in economics. He doesn’t publish in the technical economic literature, preferring the trade press. No peer review.
This is not to deny that Gilder is an interesting man with interesting ideas. But I wouldn’t necessarily take them to the bank.
I plead innocent to the charges of being well known or, heaven forbid, an economist. If, however, making important contributions to economic theory defines an economist, then my friend George is one of our greatest living specimens.. Check out George's Life After Capitalism which introduces perhaps the boldest changes in economic theory since Adam Smith.
Gilder's name is attached to this article. But is he another Joe Biden? George is 85 now.
What about American security when it can't manufacture its need equipment & get needed supplies in time of war?

Vigilante and Gilder are well-known economists.
Well … no, they aren’t.

Is that the opinion of other economists, or just people who plead innocent to the charges of being one?
You seem to believe the tariffs are permanent , I believe they are a negotiating tactic.
I hope you are right, but even threatening them does damage.
