    The British public trusts historians and scientists far more than economists. So that's good.https://twitter.com/gsoh31/status/833084095827681280 …

    As per @YouGov, 71% of Britons trust historians, giving us a net trust of +61%. Thanks, we #twitterstorians will take that any day... pic.twitter.com/1FEljHUslj

        it's super weird that people have more faith in doctors in the abstract than in their own.

        i mean the difference isn't significant but it's totally contrary the normal pattern of things (see mp vs politicians in general)

        Big difference between trusting historians in the abstract and actually listening to any of their conclusions

        Probably a wise move. Economists have an abysmal record giving advice. Neoclassical con men

        If economists can't make accurate predictions then their "trade-offs" are meaningless. Bad models.
