Commentary
The New York Times has published a strange article by Justin Wolfers, an economist at the University of Michigan. The headline is that his economist brain makes him say with regard to inflation, “Don’t worry, be happy.” The article gives the reader as much reason to trust economists as there is to trust epidemiologists, which is to say none at all.
