Dear Doug:
Thank you for your message. It is full of good sense.
I am quite willing to curtail any further argument on this matter. Any
points that can be made on either side of the anti-economist argument

I'm sorry if my comments on Jay Hanson's message sounded like a personal
attack, or if they incited others to attack Mr. Hanson. I really don't
think much is gained by calling each other names. It may be naive of
me, but I rather hoped that Mr. Hanson might respond positively to my
remarks and c

Saul, your moaning and groaning is rather unproductive. What part seems
"more like a personal obsession" ?
I thought I was quite explicit. Can you be explicit? <

I agree with Weick re. Hanson's postings, but would be blunter in
labelling them than Ed's polite term "uncivilized." I would call
Hansen's postings a prolonged, personal, rant.
This does nothing to enhance Hanson's credibility or his basic
argument. There is lots to critize in economics, and m

I don't agree with everything Jay has to say about economists, but I can see
his point. Just about every evil that has been perpetrated in the world
during our lives has been justified by "economics" (on both sides of the

There is something rather uncivilized in the last few posts from Jay
Hanson, and I don't like it. I'm not an economist, and have no great
respect for the discipline as a whole, but Mr. Hanson's remarks offend
me because they are full of prejudice and seem to be hate literature.
