James Galbraith, “Who Are These Economists, Anyway?” p. 95. I should note that this passage had been written long before the crisis, in 2000. It is indicative that no one had stepped forward to reprimand any of the bad behavior documented in the last footnote, but as soon as Galbraith actually outed the general intolerance within the orthodox economics profession, then he himself was immediately reprimanded. See Hedoin, “Towards a Paradigm Shift in Economics?” This audacious evasion of accountability in the economics profession is the Great Unmentionable in any gathering of the faithful.
