Here is the link to Zombie Economics. John Quiggin explains how these (really) dead ideas still walk among us--and why we must find a way to kill them once and for all if we are to progress and prosper again.

Thanks, Doc! "Would it be ethical to kill a zombie economist?" That's what I want to know.

R W Rawles said...

IMO, not unethical to kill'm but he would prove to be inedible.

Fearguth said...

If it's inedible, why bother?

Doc Häagen-Dazs said...

Quiggin says it's either them or us. Killing in self-defense is justifiable in normal circumstances. And we, I should not have to remind you, are not living in normal circumstances.

"Yes, your Honor, what we have here is a clear-cut case of justifiable econocide."
