[lbo-talk] Yale

[Jim Devine]

I don't know if Yale has been consistent or not in being such a
bulwark, but one possible reason is that Harvard didn't have to prove
its establishmentarian credentials. It's like some or all of the
"second tier" economics programs, which push mathematics much harder
than MIT.

"Imagine believing in the control of inflation by curbing the money
supply! That is like deciding to stop your dog fouling the sidewalk by
plugging up its rear end. It is highly unlikely to succeed, but if it
does it kills the hound." -- Michael D. Stephens.
