[lbo-talk] Great Piketty quote on economists

[Gar Lipow]

Via Kevin Drum - great Piketty quote "There is one great advantage to being
an academic economist in France: here, economists are not highly respected
in the academic and intellectual world or by political and financial
elites. Hence they must set aside their contempt for other disciplines and
their absurd claim to great scientific legitimacy, despite the fact that
they know almost nothing about anything."
