i support hu. But i also support ending single department run top journals. Last of Jpe proves how corrupt the system is even if hu is niceThe AER is plenty corrupt as well.
And the presence of AEA insiders themselves fomenting the mob suggests a hidden angle to this conflict.
This!

Yes! So weird that the excessive market power issue is worse and unresolved in the field that understands this problem very well (compared to STEM, for example)
Like Krugman, Wolfers is making the mistake of conflating "free speech" as a legal concept with free speech as an ideal.
Does anyone really want to live in a country where you are constantly walking on egg shells, desperately trying to keep up with a rapidly evolving set of prohibitions, for fear of losing your livelihood? Is that a healthy society? One we should be striving for?
I would like to see someone make the argument that this is the type of society we should want to have.
Freedom of speech isn't freedom from consequences. Say what you want to, but be prepared to face the music too.
If you read the original arguments on Mill freedom of speech is also about not being silenced by dominant culture. So it is explicitly about reining in these "consequences", for the sake of knowledge, progress, and liberty
When you're done with HU, don't forget to cancel Charles Barkley. Just tell whoever he's working for these days that you've lost confidence in his ability to be a role model.

My guess is that Barkley's opinion is the majority opinion in the A_A-community. Did we not just witness in the democratic primaries that the A_A-community is quite moderate?

It didn't used to be this way, and it shouldn't be this way.

many scholars who signed this list belong to the most CORRUPT ones in the field. It is incredible how people like Hoynes, Oster dare to jump on this, horrible opportunists

While we were counting our bucks and publications, the diversocrats were doing politics. They boosted and infiltrated the academic bureaucracy and managed to impose gender quotas, create bogus departments based on fake post-modernistic science, and did all they could to silence dissent. Nobody left a finger because we thought we were smarter than those activists and would preserve our research quality and freedom from the ideology that plagues humanities and other social sciences. Now our JMC have to submit to the Party by writing a diversity statement, and we are under constant scrutiny from the diversity police. Nobody ever opposed this process so it is not surprising that our freedom has been taken away. Next step: white male professors will be presumed racists before being proven innocent and will have to show their loyalty to the Party in a compulsory maoist struggle session aka sensitivity training.
Freedom of speech isn't freedom from consequences. Say what you want to, but be prepared to face the music too.Almost the exact same line Hollywood producers told actors blacklisted in the 50s.
Yes and now it's being used to police people insulting entire anti-racist movements with bad faith arguments.
Oh how times change.
So suggesting that "defunding the police is childish and wrong-headed" is equivalent to "insulting entire anti-racist movements with bad faith arguments"? Lol got it.
I dont have the time, but I guaranteed there is a quote from Joe McCarthy somewhere equating any criticism of US economic policy or being pro-union to insulting the entire anti-totalitarian free world with bad faith arguments.

hard to belief that such an unmoral witch hunting is propagated here on ejmr
So when is he stepping down?
Yeah, this place used to be a perfectly-good cesspool full of rac.ist and se.x.ist jokes, now the Ess Jay Dubyous are here pestering National Socialists. What a waste :(.
