Insanity. He calculated it out to 1166 per work-hour.

How is that possible? This would imply that he only had to work for 4 hours 38 days of the year… If that’s really the case then sign me up…
He said a total workload of about 150 hours per year.
There’s a lot of survivalship bias in such an evaluation. (I haven’t seen the whole video though)
Not every scumbag that gets a PhD in economics ends up being a full professor at a top University.
But even for such a professor, $175K seems too much…
These ridiculous salaries are probably due to government subsidies, direct or indirect.
I wanna do what he does.
True that. Since I’ve been watching the first season, the first name that comes to mind is Buster Bluth from Arrested Development. This guy has two PhDs, one in cartography, and panics under pressure into thinking that blue areas on the map represent land (this is while they’re on a boat).
“He said a total workload of about 150 hours per year.”
My conclusion:
Econ PHD’s are OP and the admin government needs to nerf them.
I’m willing to bet that a large chunk of that money is not from his salary as a professor. I’m sure Block is a full professor and so I’d put his salary in between $100,000 and 110,000. But, even this might be a lot, given the university he teaches at. The average professor makes somewhere between $70,000 and $100,000 (depending on type of professorship and years in service). The rest of Block’s income is made by alternative means: book royalties, lectures, et cetera.
Btw, if an econ PhD is after the money, being a professor isn’t the way to go.
Anybody care to translate? hahaha
What’s wrong with him earning lots of money? I don’t like his politics, but don’t begrudge him for being lucky enough to have a well-paid job.
No one cares what you think about his politics, Consumariat.
Well that was rather rude in my opinion…
If it’s taxpayer’s money “earning” lots could make you into a net tax recipient. As a net tax recipient he’d be eligible for giving up the difference to a net tax payer on demand.
And accurate.

Clearly you do. Else why reply in such a weird, grumpy manner?
“And accurate”
But absolutely unnecessary and unappreciated.
Consumariat is not a troll, guys. He may disagree with us, but he generally remains cordial and doesn’t spam the boards. I think he deserves some respect for his behavior while being a lamb in a den of wolves.
No. Disagreement means that we’re allowed to be major assholes to the dissenter.
Quite right, Neodoxy. After all, wolves eat lambs.

Implying we all want him in our mouths?
Besides landing one’s self a spot as Ambassador, Academia is as good (monetarily speaking) as one can manage.
