I see where Adbusters devotes its current issue to attacking the economics
profession. Then it has a large part of the issue devoted to "Mavericks".
Guess who they are? All Keynesians -- all over 70. The only interesting
one, believe it or not was Paul Samuelson, who says that the economic
recovery will not happen until 2012 and maybe not until 2014. Mind you
that's all he said that is interesting.
So I ask myself, if we were to pull together the radical economists, who are
they -- beyond our few political economists? Do they exist? Who did
Adbusters miss?
