Thank you Sir for your action about this.
Not long ago I wrote an article about the enormous inequality existing for digital creators, quoting Varian, Stigler, and yourself ("Markets do not exist in a vacuum").

you are right! I try. however it's also true old fashioned ppl like me still believe cognitive dissonance has a value in learning, in public debates.

You are absolutely right.
