Something to watch, when considering fame: a Jeopardy category titled “Economists.” The look on the leading woman’s face is priceless.

    That was very, very sad. These are supposed to be smart people.

    These are economists scorned by the mainstream media and culture. Only those of us who read in the non-mainstream culture know them. It’s sad, yes, but revealing. People who are generally well-informed won’t know about these economists because their colleges, newspapers, and television programs refuse to discuss them.
