Mankiw knows what he’s talking about
Did Mankiw get some talk points from Yang or Yang got some from him? many of the sentences they use are pretty much same.
Besides UBI/Automation, even the Immigration topic, "We should staple a green card to the diplomas of international students came here and graduated from our universities..... ", that's exactly what Yang said in some town hall or interview.
I don't think Mankiw gonna endorse Yang directly, but he is pretty much a member of Yang Gang now according what he is talking about.
Very good arguments against the Wealth Tax. I trust this guy more than the "Fax Machine" guy.

The majority of economists are against a wealth tax. They don't work. There's a reason they've been repealed in nearly every country they've been tried. You don't raise much revenue and you supress economic activity.
I love this so much. I love hearing people who know what they're talking about consider different options and share their findings with us. I really want to transcribe some of the timestamp referenced talking points and use it as reference for talking to people. Such a great video (and economist of course). Really like hearing such a smart guy talk in general.
What will it take for Sanders/Warren to understand that the Wealth tax will be a complete failure? Other countries have already tried it and repealed it because it did not work. Now N. Gregory Mankiw the man who wrote the Textbooks on economics saying it will not work,
It is by far the best redistributive policy. If you care about income inequality, this is only thing that works.
Warren wealth tax does not make any economic sense. Been tried in so many countries and failed.
Bernie m4A is ridiculously expensive and will never be passed. Even if it does pass, it benefit ppl who are old and sick which is too late to close the income gap.
Yang policy will immediately solve poverty, make more money for the country and is easier to implement.
first video I actually had to slow down the playback speed. Man this guy can talk a mile a minute
