      As you read various arguments floating around that perhaps we should ease public health restrictions to help the economy, I want you to notice that IN NO CASE ARE THESE ARGUMENTS BEING MADE BY ACTUAL ECONOMISTS.

      Maybe economists need to do a better job policing the quacks who dress up their arguments in the language of economics (Laffer, Epstein, etc)?

          You ever try to police economists, Jeet? They are IMHO worse than cats or squirrels...

          Also, as Justin points out, actual economists are not making these claims.

          How does the Econ field as a whole do this? Lots of individual economists, including some *very* prominent ones in the field, speak out against Econ quackery. Media outlets continue to give quacks a platform and describe them as credible. Econs don't specialize in media relations

          Likewise, most members of the media aren't trained in Econ (in any serious depth, at least). There's a language barrier. Many members of the media have trouble differentiating between a reputable economist and a quack, and most economists don't have the tools to correct the media

          In the same way that you need to do a better job of policing random journo hacks? Come on-- this is an absurd line of reasoning.
