Talk:Donald Luskin

[edit] Intellectual property violation
The article mentioned that the feud between DeLong and Luskin began when Luskin called DeLong on intellectual property violations on his webpage. This intimates that DeLong's debate with Luskin stems from a perceived slight instead of simply a vigorous disagreement. Delong's motivation may be as implied, but unless DeLong actually admits it, the assertion shouldn't be on wikipedia.
[edit] Ridic alert Ridic Alert Ridic Alert on aisle 1
Why is it that Brad Delong's entry does not contain a single negative link about him (of which there are many) - yet Luskin's does. Removing until consistency is achieved... This is a cross article effort, but the unfairness if blatant.
[edit] This article is full of loaded and biased words and phrases.
Examples:
"in the breathless and hyperbolic style of the times"
"it [sic] hard to know what, if anything, he meant."
"Oddly enough, for a free market Republican"
"non-stop hype and luck"
"a collapse kicking off a bear market in tech shares which continues to this day"
"He has a particular animosity"
"Critics, especially Berkeley economics professor Brad DeLong, argue" [one critic listed here, not plural]
In all, the article is so biased that it hardly qualifies as neutral. Even if you hate Luskin, you must clearly see the lack of a NPOV.

[edit] Removed Hit Piece
I removed the two-paragraph hit piece. If you want to mention his involvement in a failed investment fund, do so in a manner that is in accordance with wikipedia policies. The first two paragraphs didn't fit at all with the rest of the article, and in no way could they be considered to have a neutral point of view.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by MarkPNeyer (talk • contribs) 18:11, 18 August 2005.
[edit] "Critics?"
"Critics argue that Luskin knows very little about economics and makes frequent errors" There is no citation for this sentence, nor does it name the "critics" and why they think he knows very little.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.145.114.236 (talk • contribs) 20:29, 25 July 2006.
- Also, same deal for the subseqent sentence, "Many of Luskin's supporters counter...". Names and citations, please, or else this passage should be reworked or chopped. Mlibby 17:09, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
