There’s been enough attention paid to the question of whether Steve Levitt is ruining economics. I did my share to contribute to the focus on this question. My bad. But now even Levitt himself has responded to Scheiber’s claim that he is ruining economics. His response: “No I haven’t, and you wouldn’t know it if I had because you don’t know any economics.” Ok, that is paraphrasing but I think captures the spirit of the response.

Benjamin Barber (the author of the polemic, Jihad vs. McWorld) has an editorial in the LA Times today. Its title is: “Overselling capitalism: Why today’s markets are headed for disaster unless there is a shift in focus.” At first the editorial looks like a pretty standard entry in the growing line of comments suggesting we deny credit to the poor–you know, for their own good.
