IMO, bourgeois and non-bourgeois are pretty operative categories. But let me agree wholeheartedly with your essential point: There are different ways for economists to be bourgeois economists, and the how is very important. Sims is no Stiglitz, but he's no Prescott either. One of the things I've been insisting on for years is that we need to get over the moral repulsion these people elicit from us and deal with their work. So, making the distinction you make is a step in the right direction. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
