Top economists published a letter warning that former President Trump would be bad for the economy if he wins, after saying the same thing in 2016.
A group of top economists published a letter this week warning voters that former President Trump would be a disaster for the economy if he wins election, but many of them made the same warnings in 2016. Of the 16 Nobel Prize-winning economists who signed Tuesday's letter, at least nine made similar warnings about the economic danger of electing Trump in 2016. Their letter this election cycle highlights their fears about inflation.
Several of the laureates were among a group of 370 economists who urged voters not to support Trump just days before the 2016 election. Others derided Trump's economic policies both before and during his term. The 2016 letter argued Trump 'promotes magical thinking and conspiracy theories over sober assessments of feasible economic policy options.' They also said Trump had 'a deep ignorance of economics and an inability to listen to credible experts.' 'If elected, he poses a unique danger to the functioning of democratic and economic institutions, and to the prosperity of the country. For these reasons, we strongly recommend that you do not vote for Donald Trump,' they wrote.
Academic economists are ruled out' of working in Trump's administration 'unless they're some kind of extremist,' Shiller said in an interview with the Lindau Nobel Laureates group in 2017. Siglitz made similar criticisms of Trump ahead of the economic conference in Davos in 2016. 'Unfortunately for , I believe he is going to fail,' Siglitz said of Trump. 'What he is doing is trying to create a protectionist wall, not to manage the economy better.
