re: #142 RogueOne

Well, I fucked up my quote.

Anyway, here’s it succinctly:

Your bit about me thinking that Iceland collapsed because of the involvement of women is just a complete failure of reading comprehension on your part. What I’m saying is that there is no relationship between this bogus scale of economic freedom and economic performance. Their analysis is pitiful, as seen by the fact that they don’t even bother mentioning, let alone factoring in, that women— half the population— have incredibly limited economic freedom in many of the countries they analyse and give good marks to.

Anyone using this analysis should really explain why the fuck they leave out that.

They should also explain why they decide, given that other freedoms, non-economic, are also higher in the top ten nations, why it’s “economic freedom” that leads to prosperity and not other freedoms, or other factors. That’s the causal part they haven’t even begun to make an argument for.
