TCS: Tech Central Station - Economists and their Inquisitors:

"Galileo had it easy. He only had to face the Pope, Cardinal Bellarmine, and the Inquisition. They were reasonably receptive to objective truth -- at least if you compare them with our representatives in Congress.

Greg Mankiw and Alan Greenspan are not so lucky. Consider what happened when Mankiw, the Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers to President Bush, attempted to describe outsourcing. ''Outsourcing is just a new way of doing international trade,' he said. 'More things are tradable than were tradable in the past and that's a good thing.''"
