Eric Weinstein – Sunday Special Ep. 11 (YouTube Content): Difference between revisions

# '''Trade:''' Do you believe that trade is a rising tide that raises all boats? It clearly is not. That doesn't mean it doesn’t provide a net benefit, but it’s certainly not the case that nobody gets hurt and everybody's made better off. The representations on trade made by economists were patently false. As Paul Krugman has said, it's basically a scam by the elites.   

# '''Immigration:''' If you believe that immigrants are simply the best of us, they work harder, they’re smarter, they cause no problems and no disruptions. That is patently absurd. It doesn't mean that immigration isn't good, but the representation being made is completely childlike.   

# '''Terror & Islam:''' If you claim that there is absolutely no connection between terror and Islam when you have mass murders and people shouting "Allahu Akbar" at the end, people know that you're lying, and this is part of the problem.   

So in these situations—when the population can clearly see that the news media, political parties are not representing things accurately—I think that made people crazy.
