U.S. inflation rate rises to 13-year high of 5.4%
Well, his column is titled "The Conscience of a Liberal". That's how he identifies himself - as a liberal. Not as an economist, as a liberal. (He's liberal in the pre-woke sense - government should spend more to fix everything.)

You can a liberal and an economist, they aren't mutually exclusive as you suggest. Economics has many different schools of thought.

I don't suggest that they're
exclusive
. But his column is first and foremost that of a liberal, not that of an economist.

I've read enough of the columns that no, I'm pretty sure I'm not.
