Ricardian nonsense.

I argued here a couple of years ago that Ricardian equivalence is nonsense.

So it’s good to see Lars Syll making the same point. I particularly like one of his quotes (from Joseph Stiglitz): “Ricardian equivalence is taught in every graduate school in the country. It is also sheer nonsense.”
