Comments on: The importance of economists http://www.tvhe.co.nz/2012/06/13/the-importance-of-economists/ The Visible Hand in Economics Thu, 14 Jun 2012 00:19:33 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: jamesz http://www.tvhe.co.nz/2012/06/13/the-importance-of-economists/#comment-38314 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 00:19:33 +0000 http://www.tvhe.co.nz/?p=7052#comment-38314 In reply to Mark Hubbard.

Thanks Mark, we certainly don’t take offence at those jibes! All of us on this blog love working as economists, which is why we spend our spare time writing about it, too 😛

My above post could not be resisted, James, and it’s the Truth, but I don’t say it to bring you down: by the language you use, you have an obvious joy in your job … don’t ever lose it. You’re lucky. Good on you. Great to see some passion amongst these oh so level headed economists, even if misplaced.
 
Just keep away from those economists that repair to utilitarianism and the unbridled evil of statists like Keynes. I hope at some stage you join the wannabe free world 😉
