"The President of the United States is not the central planner for the U.S. economy,”

Unless, you know, he's a Marxist -- I mean: Democrat. Then it's totally cool.

This is like someone watching a foundation being poured for a house and commenting, “They should not be focusing so much attention on the foundation. There are a lot of aspects to building a house, and they should not be overlooked.”

i.e. they are an idiot.

Probably something that NEEDS to be said. President Elect Trump can;t be making deals to save 1,000 jobs like Carrier every day of the week. He needs to CREATE a safe and healthy climate for businesses, and let them come back, and not arm twist and broker sweet deals. THAT is what I think is termed crony capitalism. I think he will do just fine, but the point is well made.

I’m not aware of any micromanagement going on; if so, that’s new to me.

Donald has taken attention to individual companies in crisis conditions but hasn’t delved deeper than that.

Even at Harvard, non-STEM equals non academic.

Harvard's Mankiw: Trump Should Stop Micromanaging Corporate America

This flamin' lib "professor" has been hanging out with 0bama and his comrades so long that he's forgotten what leadership and real management look like.

The Left is dense and dumb. Trump is perfecting a very effective tactic.He knows that the MSM herd will gravitate to the “stories” when he deals with big companies such as United Technologies (Carrier), Boeing and others. Meanwhile as their precious globalist policies are undone at EPA, the Department of Energy, Homeland Security,State, Defense etc, it will be done effectively and hardly noticed.

The whole existence of libs is based on meddling. There is a difference between their meddling and strategic thought.

Imposing a tariff on imports does not “meddle” in any the internal affairs of a corporation.

Has this clown even looked at the massive pile of Federal micromanagement permeating through corporate HR departments these days?

Mankiw is a conservative and has been an economic adviser to several Republican politicians.

From 2003 to 2005, Mankiw was chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers under President George W. Bush.

In 2006, he became an economic adviser to Mitt Romney, and he worked with Romney during the presidential campaigns in 2008 and 2012.

A few RED FLAGS here for me...guess he could be ‘butt hurt’ or could this be why Romney wanted to talk to Trump about this guy for Economics Advisor...guess we’ll wait and see...

My son in law is a Harvard grad and thank God not typical of the breed. During one visit I was sternly lectured by one of his classmates about the evils of capitalism, while leaning on his Porsche Cayenne.

PRESIDENT-ELECT TRUMP is already bringing new jobs to America and making deals to let them stay in America.

PRESIDENT OBAMA ‘created’ jobs by stealing companies from the legal shareholders and giving it to the government as well as stealing from AMERICAN TAX PAYERS to create pseudo green energy companies.

AMERICA is becoming GREAT AGAIN. Leave, Professor Mankiw and take your CARBON TAX with you! Or better yet, READ THE “ART OF THE DEAL.”

One of the most influential economists in the world explains why a carbon tax is a good idea

The major function of a CEO is to protect the brand of the company and advance its image so that customers will buy more stuff and investors will part with their hard earned cash in order to make more money.

The above description is a good guideline to follow in order to understand Trump. He is bringing back the U.S brand and his intent is to make it again the world’s top brand, for customers as well as investors.
