So that the economics people were educated in 1980 or 1990 was inferior, less internally consistent, with worse empirical agreement than that of 1950 or 1960.<br /><br />So I would say, rest in peace - to the millions of victims piled up by Lindbeck and his fellow nitwits who re-established an orthodoxy that is an insult to one's intelligence.

Comment on Barkley Ro...No False-Hero-Memorials (II)<br />Comment on Barkley Rosser on ‘Assar Lindbeck Passes On’<br /><br />Barkley Rosser remembers: “There are some oddities I shall recount based on gossip from primary sources I have heard from. So when I went to his Wikipedia page to double check on details of his career, it claimed that the award for James Buchanan in particular in 1986 was especially important for him as part of this general ideological agenda. … At the time Buchanan was pushing for a balanced-budget amendment to the US Constitution, basically a silly idea. But supposedly Lindbeck saw that as a way to send a message to the Reagan administration of disapproval for their high budget deficit policies, and this overcame whatever it was that had previously made Lindbeck so negative on Buchanan.”<br /><br />Economics is NOT a science. Economists are NOT scientists but clowns and useful idiots in the political Circus Maximus. Because of this, the Bank of Sweden Nobel is a scientific fraud.#1, #2, #3<br /><br />The econ-Nobel has never been anything else than a piece of political propaganda. Barkley Rosser “(I used to have good sources on that famous committee, …)” deserves praise for presenting the proof.<br /><br />To this day, the Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel has nothing to do with sciences because there is NO such thing as economic sciences.#4<br /><br />Egmont Kakarot-Handtke<br /><br />#1 Links on the Economics Nobel<br />https://axecorg.blogspot.com/2019/08/links-on-economics-nobel.html<br /><br />#2 No False-Hero-Memorials (I)<br />https://axecorg.blogspot.com/2019/08/no-false-hero-memorials.html<br /><br />#3 Economics is a disgrace ― now more than ever<br />https://axecorg.blogspot.com/2020/08/economics-is-disgrace-now-more-than-ever.html<br /><br />#4 How to spot economics trolls<br />https://axecorg.blogspot.com/2019/07/how-to-spot-economics-trolls.htmlAXEC / E.K-Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10402274109039114416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4900303239154048192.post-39204382706297812722020-08-31T17:43:17.620-04:002020-08-31T17:43:17.620-04:00You should read Philip Mirowski and his colleagues...You should read Philip Mirowski and his colleagues on the origins of the shiny little Bank of Sweden medal. Basically it was intended to beat up on the likes of Rudolf Meidner. And its roster, with a few exceptions, is a hall of shame. The actual Nobel heirs have always objected to the expropriation of their name.john c. halaszhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17176419625607679150noreply@blogger.com
