This post (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17801395), linked to a book review in The New York Times, written by Nobel Prize winning economist Joseph Stiglitz. It seems like a fine thing to have posted here, yet it was removed. Any idea as to why?
No idea about that one but unless it is some break through idea I downvote / flag any political controversial topics. HN mods and users are doing so far an amazing job keeping this place free from toxic, ideological shouting matches.<p>Best example is your post - for me Stiglitz is a political hack whom I can't take serious, for you he did write something so substantial that you made a follow up post on your submission.
