<< Would you mind naming some "of the most prominent mainstream  
economists" who are bemoaning the current state of economics?  >> 
 
 
Frank Hahn, James Buchanan, Wassily Leonteif, Paul Samuelson,  
E. Leamer, Ronald Coase, Robert Clower, David Colander, Robert Solow, 
Deirdre McCloskey, Israel Kirzner, D. Hendry, Friedrich Hayek,  
Herbert Simon, Geoffrey Hodgson, Omar Hamouda, Robin Rowley,  
and James Tobin, among many others.  There are 8 Nobel winners in this 
list I've made only very quickly.  The list could be multiplied repeatedly. 
An equally lengthy list of names could be generated from mainstreamers 
who are happy playing the current 'game' -- but who are quite aware of 
the failures of cognitive grounding for this little intellectual game they 
are quite happy to participate in. 
 
Some statements from many of the above on the unscientific nature  
of current economic practice, and its general sorry state can be found at:
