“Economists afraid of ethics?” (macrobusiness.com.au)
you know we (the economics profession) were not always such scum-bags. Back in the 19th century political-economists (that’s how we called ourselves then… in the 18th c. we were “moral-philosophers”) were at the forefront of the struggle for the abolition of slavery, the emancipation of women, universal suffrage, etc.
I love reading a post that will make people think.
Also, many thanks for allowing for me to comment!
