>A contemptuous comment. > R, this is not the first time you have taken my rejection of your pet theory as a personal attack. In the world of scholarship, it is normal for people to disagree sharply about fundamentals, and even to think the ideas and reserach programs of others as fundamentally misguided, without taking it personally. What do you think about my Hayekianism? No doubt that I have my head screwed on backwards. I don't take it personally as long as you press serious objections.

My fundamental objection is that the program isn't going anywhere. I think it's a waste of time. But I also think that a lot of people--maybe you--are attached to it not because it's so explanatiorly powerful, but because, as Doug says, it's a sort of a pledge of allegience to the red flag. jks > _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp.
