Skilled analytical thinking should not be drowned out by mistaken, ideologically driven views that more is always better or less is always better.
Wise words said by Peter A. Diamond in regards to his blocked nomination to the FED. This position equally applies among those black academics and activists and those who consider themselves thinkers. Many of us repeat and defend ideologically driven positions that are not always based on actual analysis but that which we either find comfortable or was handed to us by those who we hold in high esteem.
