DRAFT for IAMA Reddit: Friday: 4 PM PST: Afterthoughts 2

Cursor and bradford delong com Grasping Reality with Both Hands

IAMA economist Brad DeLong, an economist to be found at http://bradford-delong.com and @delong, a Berkeley professor and a former Clinton administration official. I am here to talk about why Trump's trade policies are highly likely to be disastrous failures—the normal result of a moron singularity.

But ask me anything.

I am a weblogger at the Washington Center for Equitable Growth http://equitablegrowth.org/equitablog. I am a research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research http://nber.org. From 1993 to 1995 I was a deputy assistant secretary at the U.S. Treasury.
