RE LETTING BANKERS WALK KRUGMAN NYT LETTING ECONOMISTS WALK

 In my judgment, 
and having once been a public defender, 
the bigger situation is rather like, 


and at a deeper level, still, 


more like, if you know a little history, 


Letting Economists Walk:


Re a related article today on economists experts ranged on both sides of poitical debates, why not finally smell the coffee on them, as a credible intellectual academic group?


Why stand for intellectual fraud, much broader in scope, than mere financial fraud?


Who could hold economists, as a discipline, 
politically, not merely academically, 'accountable'?
Answer: No one. 


Who could hold them academically, ie intellectually, accountable?
Answer: No one.


Re political accountability, funding conservative academic chairs at state universities, like Florida, (Koch brothers),  is not 'academic' accountability, but the opposite.


Terms search: Thurston, Boca,  2006, Who do you think they will bail out your or me?
