The "philosopher of economics", wow! I hope they don't mean that as a slur, though. :)

I hope not! :-) I am greatly honored by the term.
-
Sure sounds grand! However, in my personal view, I see you as well grounded in economic reality, not as aloof as the typical philosopher. ;)

My favorite social thinker is Aristotle - who combined theory, observation, and moral reasoning. He liked "practical wisdom" (phronesis).
-
Good point about moral reasoning. That's in short supply in economics! :(
-
Agreed. I'll publish a book on Ethics and Economics later this year, based on the LSE Robbins Lectures that I gave in February.
-
Excellent! Economists need to be reminded that the welfare of the people requires consideration. It can't be only about profits!
-
Btw, I like the procedure of basing a book on a lecture instead of vice versa. Did feedback from students go into your writing?

Sachs seeks atonement. But he and others imposing "shock therapy" in the Russian republics created the hellish conditions for Putin's rise.
