Are the elites worse than you think? - Marginal REVOLUTION - 0 views

Bill Fulkerson on 16 Dec 20.... elites are arguing from their class and demographic biases (a bias can be positive, to be clear), not from their expertise. That lowers the marginal value of expertise, at least given how our world operates. I recall earlier research blogged by Alex showing that if you are a French economist, your views are more influenced by being a French person than by being an economist.
