Tbh a ton of people across the political spectrum agree with that statement. Unfortunately the only tool dsa seems to bring is price controls, basically trading corporations for a completely inept and unaccountable government body. It’s a short term solution with populists blundering around implementing controls over stuff they don’t understand. Why would we trust these politicians to make economic decisions that have huge impact, despite a complete lack of qualifications?
He got a degree in Africana studies. I’m sure you understand being skeptical of his knowledge on economics… his policies are popular, but that’s not at all the same as being good in the long term. I guess time will tell.
Ok and? Most lawyers dont have degrees in economics and yet congress is overwhelmingly made up of lawyers. But you’re not crying about congress being woefully lacking in economics degrees.
Whattabout Congress? Yes, they are also woefully lacking in economics qualifications. That’s how we are in a perpetual cycle of increasing entitlements driving inflation in the first place. But then Mamdani kicking the inflation machine into high gear while trying to control prices can only end in economic disaster.
Yes… completely unelected undemocratic, actually non-transparent and greedy/profit seeking by design private companies will certainly be more effective, the government totally can’t hire their skilled folk.

If you think the only tool the DSA brings is price controls, I invite you to read their platform
Fair enough, I guess that’s just the one i hear about, and it’s obvious to me that it will fail. Maybe other policies are legit.
Its working pretty good for Mamdani.

Do you realize how racist that makes you sound?
If you intentionally misunderstood my point in order to make it about race, that’s on you.
Then what was the point of bringing up the Africana studies?
It’s his degree and it has nothing to do with economics. My point is that he has no formal education in economics.

One of those is accountable to the actual value of goods, and the other is not.
