actually, I think that Palley is talking about the "contemporary economics
profession," i.e, since 1960 or so. (The work that Justin refers to was
done before that.) What's he's writing about (it seems to me) is that most
economics is like Kuhn's "normal science" without the science. The fix i
Oh my God! Are these the most important? For whom?
