That article is from 2014. There were contemporaneous responses.

TLDR: "But this doesn't seem to be a Reinhart and Rogoff situation. Their Excel errors really did change their conclusions. Piketty's don't. "

On another note I feel bad for Reinhart and Rogoff who are constantly used as the bad examples for making one mistake. Reinhart is a great person, mentor and professor.

chessgames.com is a chess community with discussions of individual games and also players. Generally speaking, discussing politics in a particular game is frowned upon. However, for some reason that I don't know, the Ken Rogoff page, he is a chess GM, is the page dedicated to cut and thrust politics.
