"To Fix Economics, Try *Teaching* Economics"
"Economics education has major problems. Doctoral programmes are churning out applied mathematicians and statisticians with little to no knowledge of price theory. At the undergraduate level, social control ('market failure!') and activism ('inequality!') have replaced careful reasoning about markets and politics. Very few programmes instil in students an appreciation for the power and universality of the economic way of thinking."
We welcome thoughtful disagreement. But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me. PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
