[lbo-talk] Harvard felon economist tops the list of most cited researchers in economics and business!!!

[Paul]

The #3 on the list was forced to resign from Yale, having been accused of 
taking $150,000.  His work for Yale/World Bank/IMF emphasized the need for 
wrenching economic reforms in the 3rd world so as to combat corruption, 
promote transparency to the public, good governance and free markets.  Upon 
his resignation both institutions refused to release any information or 
even a substantive public comment.  AFAIK no public accounting has ever 
been provided by either institution.
