My late good friend, Mark Baugh, was wont to say that the problem
with economists when they came to talk about the real world was the they
believed their own models. I heard him say something like that many times
but never saw it in print, although I suspect he did commit it to print
somewhere in his voluminous writings.
I am writing an essay that amply illustrates Mark's comment and
would like to quote him on the opening page.
I would be most grateful if anyone could help we with a reference to
where Mark made that comment, or something similar, in print?
