Economists Have Much To Be Humble About.

Kelsoism Is Not Accepted By Modern Scientific Economics As A Valid And Fruitful Analysis Of The Distribution Of Income But Rather It Is Regarded As An Amateurish And Cranky Fad.

An American Economist Of Two Generations Ago, H. J. Davenport, Who Was The Best Friend Thorstein Veblen Ever Had (veblen Actually Lived For A Time In Davenport's Coal Cellar) Once Said: "there Is No Reason Why Theoretical Economics Should Be A Monopoly Of The Reactionaries." All My Life I Have Tried To Take This Warning To Heart, And I Dare Call It To Your Favorable Attention.

Economics Never Was A Dismal Science. It Should Be A Realistic Science.

In This Age Of Specialization, I Sometimes Think Of Myself As The Last 'generalist' In Economics, With Interests That Range From Mathematical Economics Down To Current Financial Journalism. My Real Interests Are Research And Teaching.

Economists Are Said To Disagree Too Much But In Ways That Are Too Much Alike: If Eight Sleep In The Same Bed, You Can Be Sure That, Like Eskimos, When They Turn Over, They'll All Turn Over Together.
