University

>> "explains why economists think the way they do, and points
out the flaws

or just plain
>> ignore. Most of these flaws were established by dissident
academic

it can continue

>> Among those praising the book are erstwhile Penner Henry Liu,
URPE

>> Don Goldstein and Hugh Stretton. Anybody know anything about
this? Rob?
