The whole video (~1h) is worth watching, haven't seen a better recap of liberalism and the current mess ever tbh.

Very good speech.

Remember last years article on the dearth of article retraction in economics?
So I went over to retraction watch to see which economists have been held up to scrutiny and have been put on the wall of shame. A review this year improves upon last year, but still has me suspicious.

One poli-sci article that I remember from MNE was retracted for getting their statistics wrong and conclusions backward.
