Elsewhere

  • Eric Rauchway tells us about the Bretton Woods conference, where John Maynard Keynes showed that some economists could be more useful than dentists.
  • David Ruccio reprints a cartoon by B. Deutsch making fun of economists prefering a supposedly elegant theory of the minimum wage to empirical results falsifying the theory.
  • Bill Mitchell has a negative view of Greg Mankiw's textbook.
