economists getting cheerier

[Michael Perelman]

I have trouble squaring John Taylor's role in the two Bush
administrations with his personal demeanor.  He is a very nice person,
certainly the most unassuming faculty member in the Stanford economics
department.  Publishers representatives tell me that their evaluation is
similar.  I could even talk to him about left wing ideas.
