thanks for the contributions. I've decided to call economics textbook
writers "the Ekon," after Axel Leijonhufvud's mock-anthropological
study of the profession.
Leijonhufvud, Axel (1973), Life Among The Econ, Western Economic Journal
11, 1:
status is tied to the manufacture of certain types of implements, called
modls.
[And] that most of these modls seem to be of little or no
practical use, [which] probably
accounts for the backwardness and abject cultural poverty of the tribe
....[the most]
exquisite modls [are] finely carved from the bones of walras [referring
to Léon Walras, the late 19th
century father of modern, formal general equilibrium theory.]
