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?
