“If economists are so smart…”

If economists are so smart, why ain’t they rich?

Copenhagen Business School, 18 April 2012

Prof. McCloskey received another honorary doctorate this April. From the Copenhagen Business School press:

“Throughout her career, Professor Deirdre N. McCloskey has asked ‘the American question’ in connection with her research … ‘If economists are so smart, why ain’t they rich?’ Although she never gives a simple answer. She is a prime example of how you advantageously combine different skills to understand and act in a modern world.”
