Economists Have No Clothes


No, I did not say that. Apparently the title of this post is the paper title of a paper Jim Buchanan delivered at a recent History of Economic Thought Conference in Richmond.

According to a brief write-up of Buchanan's presentation, this is what he said:

“Economists have been parading around, really very naked, walking around in space,” Buchanan said. “It’s time to recognize that.”
