Economics is a profession that has various schools of though. For example stiglitz here is a Keynesian economist. Keynesian economics which is about abandoning frugality, money printing, stimulus's and constant intervention is a failed model. This new institute that stiglitz is talking about here or INET is just the same garbage over and over.
