Did John Maynard Keynes really say that "If economists could manage to get themselves thought of as humble, competent people on a level with dentists, that would be splendid"? http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/j/john_maynard_keynes.html says he said that, but they're unreliable. -- Jim Devine / "Segui il tuo corso, e lascia dir le genti."
