Have you ever wondered why the Obama Administration’s plans for improving the U.S. economy always seem to fall flat? It just might have something to do with the fact that the Obama Administration has been working with someone who doesn’t like capitalism.

According to an article on France24.com, a well known economist who isn’t fond of capitalism, but promotes Socialism, has been working with the Democrats and the Obama Administration “for a long time”:

In his latest book, French economist Thomas Piketty warns that modern-day capitalism leads to unsustainable levels of inequality. While he is often linked to France’s Socialist Party, his writings have made him unusually popular in the US.

Obama only knows what he learned from his socialist friends mentors.

I'm sure Obama is working with a lot of socialists but it's good to know the history of them as well.

Another stupid post by another stupid con tool. Using a far right wing bat shit crazy source, the Gateway Pundit, for information. Information produced by (really, no kidding) a CLOWN. Jesus. An article in a con web site written by a clown. Finally, you have hit rock bottom.

US rolls out red carpet for French critic of capitalism

In his latest book, French economist Thomas Piketty warns that modern-day capitalism leads to unsustainable levels of inequality. While he is often linked to France's Socialist Party, his writings have made him unusually popular in the US.

Thomas Piketty’s “Capital in the Twenty-First Century” has only just been translated into English – several weeks ahead of schedule, due to popular demand – and the New York Times’s star columnist Paul Krugman has already described it as “the most important economics book of the year — and maybe of the decade”.

The French economist’s current US book tour is turning into something of a red carpet event. So far this week, he has met the White House’s Council of Economic Advisors as well as Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew.

“The Democratic Party, especially the Obama administration, has been in contact with us and using our findings for a long time,” Piketty told AFP in Washington.

On Wednesday evening, he was due to give a conference at the City University of New York, along with economics Nobel Prize laureates Joseph Stiglitz and Paul Krugman.

Yup. Better source. Though, you may notice, there is no author shown. Only a nod to the person in charge of "text". But as close as one could expect to a valid source by a con.
But, in general, I find this thread amusing. Anyone who has an economics background understands that all economic systems have good and bad points. That includes socialism. And it includes capitalism. What is funny is watching conservatives going ape over an economist who is primarily socialist. Like he is going to spread a disease. Must be tough to be so afraid of ideas outside of the mainstream of their agenda.
So, yes indeed, economists do indeed study the findings of economists of all leanings. Though they may not align themselves with, say, socialist leaning economists, they in all likelihood see value in some aspects of socialism. Because, you see, they have open minds.
Which is why there is NO SUCH THING as a Libertarian economy, which most cons believe in. Nor are there pure capitalist economies. Even we have many socialist components. Which most economists, and most citizens, support. See what happens when politicians come out against and suggest changes to social programs such as Medicare. Akin to slitting their political throats.
So, it is indeed amusing to watch the simple minded cons having a cow over US economists talking to a socialist leaning economist. And making the quantum jump to accusing those open minded economists of being socialists. Amusing and STUPID.

What is funny is how cons keep calling Obama a marxist, far lefty etc. He hasn't appointed marxists or leftists to positions of power though. Geitner, Summers, Ceo's like Immelt and anti labor billionaires like Pritzker and the list goes on. Obama, a moderate democrat at best.

Have you ever wondered why the Obama Administration’s plans for improving the U.S. economy always seem to fall flat? It just might have something to do with the fact that the Obama Administration has been working with someone who doesn’t like capitalism.

According to an article on France24.com, a well known economist who isn’t fond of capitalism, but promotes Socialism, has been working with the Democrats and the Obama Administration “for a long time”:

In his latest book, French economist Thomas Piketty warns that modern-day capitalism leads to unsustainable levels of inequality. While he is often linked to France’s Socialist Party, his writings have made him unusually popular in the US.

You might want to get a grip. Piketty is generally regarded as one of the top three macroeconomists in the world, the leading expert in income inequality, the top prospect for the next Nobel, and has the most significant book in macro theory out in the last decade. Picketty is a damned good economist and there is not a "conservative" economist today who even rises to the status of mediocre. A & A? R & R? Economic conservatism is so intellectually bankrupt and has fallen so far into disrepute that the only jobs they can get now is as paid political shills.

Perhaps you wish to be the first to actually answer my challenge, with no takers for the last three months:

Now that the leading conservative economists like Feldstein have changed sides, who is the spokesperson for conservative economics? And what are their ideas?

No one seems to know. It's not often that the world gets to watch an entire hundred year old intellectual tradition with a robust and distinguished past disappear without a trace; but it's happening before your eyes and you don't even know it.

But by all means, attack Picketty. After all, he is the future and you are only the soon-to-be forgotten nightmares of the past. Maybe you should not have been so eager throw Milton Friedman and your respectable past under the bus in the rush to curry favor with the scions of patrimonial capitalism.

If you are not familiar with the last term, you really have no business attacking Picketty. But then, no one ever thought you could read economics. If you could, you wouldn't be pasting drivel.
