...the line bemoaning how "economics PhDs are going unemployed" is, hmmm, at best unaware of the Chicago School economics grads' history. Hard to think of another single PhD program with as disproportionate a negative effect on the world as the boys from Chicago Economics.

Well, he did sign a letter (cited on his Wikipedia page) critical of the Milton Friedman Institute, saying, "Many colleagues are distressed by the notoriety of the Chicago School of Economics, especially throughout much of the global south..." Dunno know the guy but the econ line seems anti"prejob."
