Pertinent to this discussion is the excellent article in the current Challenge, "The
Legacy of John Kenneth Galbraith" who certainly asked economists to consider the
possibility that the contemporary training of economists - almost exclusively in
mathematical finesse and ignorant of the history of the discipline - could produce a view
of how the economy works that is not worth much at all, elegant and refined as it may be.
