There is a saying: if you see fire you do not have to search for the smoke. There were irregularities, abuse of power, intimidation, and fraud at several stages of the voting process. The CEPR recent report on the election in Bolivia is not only incomplete but biased to tell the story that fits the institution’s pre-conceptions. A report that can be refuted by just analyzing the votes by precinct before and after the vote count was shut-down.
CEPR is committed to deeply examining economic and political issues. They have been repeatedly proven right.
CEPR is a valuable resource looking into the economics that affect those who are most marginalized in society. At a time when big money think tanks and aspirational money (lawyers, doctors, engineers) are dominating the media scene, CEPR highlights facts that get to the root of inequality. They take a brave stance in not providing cover for those already in power.
CEPR is an excellent resource for economic news. They have been correct and educational on so many topics: the housing bubble, austerity, patent monopolies, inflation, government spending, social security and medicare, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, and many others. They are routinely the only D.C. think tank that challenges neoliberal or centrist consensus both within the U.S. and outside, and then are proven right time and again by subsequent events. Their staff are unionized as well.
Takes a sober and realistic look at economic and social issues both affecting and caused by the United States. An important educational resource that is willing to speak truth to power. Opinions can be unpopular at times, but are always well-researched and articulated. Unlike most mainstream publications, CEPR is unconcerned with maintaining the status quo.
I've always appreciated Dave Baker's economic views. He applies economic principles without blindly following the received wisdom
parroted by most other news outlets. I think he should think and write more about anti-trust and monopoly problems. Thanks for your articles.

Recent healthcare article was, at best, extremely ill informed and more likely dishonest. For an economist with zero medical training to make any assertion on what constitutes adequate “standards of care”, let alone who is capable of performing them, is beyond absurd and more importantly dangerous. Readers beware. This group is perfectly ok putting out false information and widely inappropriate recommendations for policy decisions with very little research or understanding.
It's a shame that Dean Baker a reported economist can't do the simple math to determine what a doctor's salary should be. When you saddle a physician with >$100K in debt and then prevent him from making a money until he has finished 4 years of college, 4 years of medical school and then 3-7 years of residency, you actually have to pay him/her $250K a year in order for him/her to make all his debt payments. If a physician chooses to be a family practitioner or pediatrician then when you factor in the time value of money (not sure Dean is familiar with this complicated economic term) at the retirement age of 65, the pediatrician or family practitioner has almost the equivalent net worth of a public school teacher. #DoctorsMakeTooMuch is #FakeNews. If you understood economics you would be attacking the pharmaceutical industry or the insurance industry but then that would take some cajones. Better stick with attacking physician salaries.
